This year the Iconic House of Saint Laurent Europe celebrates its 10th anniversary since the founding of the former House of Melody, marking the beginning of Ballroom in Germany. In addition, we are also celebrating internationally the 40th anniversary of the Iconic House of Saint Laurent, founded in 1982 in New York by Robert, Terrence, Christopher and Octavia Saint Laurent.

This year’s Give me Life Festival pays special tribute to Iconic Vjuan Allure Saint Laurent, who passed away in 2021. He established the connection to the Iconic House of Saint Laurent in 2019 and is one of the most important mentors for the House and Ballroom worldwide.

The Festival highlight is the two day take-over of the Volksbühne with the Vjuan Allure Celebration on the 7th October and the Icons Galore Ball on the 8th of October on the main stage.

This year’s Give me Life Festival is under the artistic direction of Georgina Leo Saint Laurent and Litchi Ly Friedrich. The Icons Galore Ball Part 2 is under the artistic direction of Sophie Yukio and Steph Barreto.
