On World AIDS day São Luiz hosts the 27th edition of Gala Abraço, a transvestism show, with transvestites, drag queens, transsexuals, LGBTi artists and supporters, to remind us of the importance of inclusion and solidarity. It is a night devoted to human rights protection and equality, to underline, once again that diversity is a treasure. And also a lush night full of joy, fun, colours, glamour, good mood and many emotions.
It’s been more than a decade since Teatro São Luiz joined this initiative, created by Carlos Castro in 1992, named Gala Noite dos Travestis, as an occasion to fight against stigmas and support the work of Associação Abraço who has been providing, from its foundation, help to people with HIV/AIDS.
