Turin is preparing for the sparkling groove of Only Funk and Spazio211 will open its doors on Friday 9th June from 11.30pm to a blaze of vintage and daring outfits, inviting us to immerse ourselves in a night full of groove and excesses, “Only Funk” is a celebration of freedom of expression, creativity and diversity. It’s an invitation to take the boldness of the ’70s and the eccentricity of the ’80s aboard an authentic soul train.
“Only Funk” has a clear and precise vision of sexy music: body positivity and the freedom to be able to express yourself to the maximum in a safe context. We want the cube, but we want it for any body type; We want courtship, but not one-sided.
Dress code: Watchwords are sequins, close-fitting, colourful.
“Only Funk” promises a sonic journey through the sexy grooves of African-American music with a strong counterpoint to the grotesque aspects of disco music.
Admission € 5 at the cash desk
Spazio211, Via Cigna 211, Turin
