Mayhem’s first Bengaluru Pride Ball invites the crowd to compete

文字Ethan Park

The organisers have set aside seven prize categories for people who come to compete at Sutra on Saturday night.

Come to watch, or come ready to walk. That’s the invitation from Mayhem Mini Balls, which is holding its first Bengaluru ball on Saturday 14 November. To walk is to enter the competition. Attendees have seven categories to choose from, each with a cash prize.

Jiya LaBeija and Feroza Syed are hosting. Jiya is from the Royal House of LaBeija, which traces its first ball to Harlem. In the early 1970s, Crystal and Lottie LaBeija put on a ball where performers of colour could take the stage on their own terms. Feroza is from the International House of Balenciaga.

It starts at 8pm local time at Sutra, inside The LaLiT Ashok. Tickets start at ₹500. DJ Mo’Homo is due to play after the competition.
