House of Hypersex

House of Hypersex marked the first year of Hypersex, his third album, following its launch party at MAAT in October 2017. It ran from 9pm to 4am at the Capitólio in Lisbon on 31 October 2018, with his concert, DJ sets by the London-based Australian DJ HAAi and by Xinobi, and a performance by MEERA, a Discotexas act.

The night paid tribute to the ballrooms of 1980s New York, the houses that gave a community to people who had none, and set out to bring musicians, performers, visual artists and activists under one roof without a single stage at its centre. An open call invited performers, drag artists, designers and dancers to walk and compete before a jury in six categories: Casa dos Segredos, Voguing, Disney Villains, Undead Divas, Avant-Human and Normcore.

Guests were filmed against a chroma key at the entrance, so that their images could become part of the visuals for that night's concert and for later House of Hypersex editions and Moullinex shows. He described the idea to Rimas e Batidas as an open house, extending the community of musicians, singers, artists, directors, choreographers and performers who had worked on the album.
