His passion was born in front of an American telecrochet, he is today one of the legends of the Voguing scene: meeting with a political dancer, Vinii Revlon, which will be on the stage of the Twenty Five, presented by Jam and the Gaîté Lyrique,March 4 - Free online event on YouTube and Facebook - to continue dusting our old world.
PublicitéThe curfew is still far away when Vinii Revlon invites me to enter the Lyrique gaiety.Empty, inevitably, health crisis obliges.Smiling lips, the "legend" of French voguing guides me in the deserted cultural center.The opportunity to come back to the surprising course of a musician son who became optician before answering the call of the scene."It's blood," he says, he who defines himself as a "360 artist".2011, click.Frozen in front of a dance channel dance show, he made his first meeting with Voguing.And the feeling does not pass immediately."I found it strange, I didn't necessarily like it, I found it too extra.»EXPRESS EXPOSION, VINII apprehends these rhythmic choreographies and its demands from the LGBT+ Black and Latina community."I fell in love with this dance," he admits.And the sentimental relationship is just beginning.
Of Congolese origin, Vinii has always practiced New Style Hip-Hop and Afro.Of the first loves that he does not lose sight of."It's always in my body, it doesn't go," he smiles.But his new passion takes up a lot of space.He replayed the choreographies seen on a small screen with his friends, multiplies research to identify this universe that opens up to him.A world that was only in its infancy in France.It uses the movements acquired in events first confidential.Then the Voguing scene takes off.Balls - these competitions that see voggyers compete in front of a jury - emerge everywhere.Some names then begin to make an impression: Precious Ebony, Mother Rheeda, Shylee Kaarisma Ladurée… Vinii Revlon saw some defeats, but tears great victories thanks to her performances, her technical talents but also his ability to transmit a narration."With voguing, you have to tell a story!"»»
Sail towards new horizons, far from standards
"Society decrees that blue is for boys, pink for girls.We, no.We are deconstructing all this, "argues the dancer, mimicking a back of hand that sweeps the last remains of a sweaty patriarchy."Dresses and skirts for women, jeans and pants for boys.We, no»».For him, voguing gets rid of established standards and celebrates any form of body."Small, tall, skinny, big, giant ... Everyone is celebrated.»»
Dance then takes all its political meaning, a real claim of existence.And for black LGBTs and Latinos, fight against a double invisibilization has passed partly by these choreographies."I was not comfortable with my sexuality. J’étais très efféminé plus jeune et voir d’autres personnes à la télévision s’exposer comme ça me mettait mal à l’aise»», se souvient-il.Discovering the commitment behind the dance allowed him to take a different look at himself.Unexpected effect: the young man feels more masculine than ever. « Je n’ai plus peur de ma sexualité, je sais comment je suis, je sais ce que j’aime… Ça m’a aligné»», résume-t-il. Et ça passe par le rejet de deux termes qu’il abhorre : « acceptation»» et « tolérance»».If we don't have to accept or tolerate Cisgenre heteros, why should we do it for others?A matter of principle.
There’s a real difference in what is seen as knowledge to be prized. Is it having gone to school (Islamic + ‘wester… https://t.CO/4KQBVOFBNN

From Queens to the residence of kings
A phone call will give Vinii the opportunity to shine on a large scale.The Aya Nakamura team calls him for the shooting of the pookie clip, shot at the Château de Fontainebleau.The new icon of urban music wants voguing, and it will have.Surprising?Less when you know that she is close to Kiddy Smile, another standard of French voguing.Under the gilding, the performances are linked and decide with the atmosphere of the place.The success is monumental, nearly 280 million views on YouTube to the writing of these lines.Aya Nakamura then invites the vogues on the stage of the Olympia.Just that."Never pressure.The fact that she was looking forward to the voguing scene, it made me like.»»
Successes do not come alone.Especially for the 29 -year -old artist, who wins the prestigious status of Legend, third level of an ascent codified in the world of voguing: star, statement, legend, icon.To be a legend, the criteria are precise: notoriety, victories in balls, involvement in the community and a minimum seniority of 10 years.And that's where it gets stuck.When Vinii acquires the title in 2018, he has only been there for 8 years and does not come from the United States.
The reason for this exception: a taste for risk. « J’en avais marre de battleler que les girls de Paris»», nous raconte celui qui quitte alors la France pour les US en 2014.He caused a sensation and won several decisive victories across the Atlantic.The dancer moves as a young European prodigy of voguing until then dominated by American talents. « Vinii from Paris»» s’impose comme la première legend d’Europe et se met à faire des allers-retours entre les deux continents.Two beautiful victories are linked for him in 2018 and 2019 in his category until 2020, where he continues to devote himself to the performing arts and the scene.Yes, the scene, in 2020.True to himself, Vinii likes the opposite.Its solution: Airbnb rented in small committee, so as not to lose the link, rather than in Visio. « Le faire en ligne, c’est perdre la magie du voguing»».
