On June 6, 2026, Le Cabaret des Lunes invites Brussels’ queer community into a whimsical, slightly subversive fairy world with its “XXX Fairy Party II” at Salle de Dublin in Ixelles. Blending cabaret, performance, and immersive storytelling, the evening promises a playful escape into an enchanted yet rebellious universe. Open to all, this event centers queer expression, body diversity, and collective joy. It is a reminder of how nightlife can still be a space for imagination, resistance, and community care.
A Cabaret Where Fairies Misbehave
Le Cabaret des Lunes has built a reputation in Brussels for crafting intimate, offbeat cabaret nights that blur the line between spectacle and shared experience. With “XXX Fairy Party II,” they lean fully into a fantastical aesthetic—think mischievous fairies, tipsy goblins, and liberated creatures guiding the audience through a dreamlike narrative.

Hosted at Salle de Dublin in Ixelles, the event transforms a traditional venue into a “clandestine” enchanted space. The promise is not just to watch, but to step inside a parallel world where norms soften and queer imagination takes center stage.
A Playful and Diverse Line-Up
The night features a mix of performers who embody the cabaret’s signature blend of humor, sensuality, and theatricality:
- Bibi Le Bon
- Ernesto Coyote
- Deeva
- Girouette Giboulette
- Les Moon-Moons
- Hosted by Mortimer Moonbender
Expect performances that move between burlesque, spoken word, music, and visual storytelling. The cabaret embraces all forms—“musical, visual, declamatory, bodily”—creating a fluid and inclusive stage where different artistic expressions coexist.
The dress code (vintage, with tones of green, brown, burgundy, blue, and silver, plus wings or pointed ears) extends the performance into the audience, turning spectators into participants.
Why It Matters for Queer Brussels
In a city with a vibrant but sometimes fragmented queer scene, events like Cabaret des Lunes offer something distinct: a deliberately intimate, body-positive, and slightly anarchic space. Here, queerness is not just represented—it is playful, messy, and unapologetically embodied.
The cabaret format allows for intersectional storytelling, where different identities, aesthetics, and forms of expression can coexist without hierarchy. It also challenges polished, commercial nightlife by re-centering DIY spirit, fantasy, and collective imagination.
For LGBTQIA+ audiences, this kind of space matters today because it creates room to experiment with identity, desire, and visibility outside rigid norms—while still feeling held by a community.
A Nod to Old-School Cabaret, Reimagined
There is also something distinctly Brussels about this event. The city has a long relationship with cabaret, surrealism, and underground culture. Cabaret des Lunes taps into that heritage while queering it—bringing in contemporary gender expression, fluid identities, and a strong sense of chosen family.
The result is a hybrid: part vintage cabaret, part queer ritual, part immersive party.
