KienyKe.com: What new does the Bogotá Pride Fest bring for this new edition?

Juan Andrés Ruiz: The great novelty of the festival since it began has been to look for activities for the public’s enjoyment, apart from the stages, the music, the shows, which is normal for any festival, is that it has recreational places, there is the marriage chapel, which It is where you can symbolically marry anyone for 24 hours, you are given a certificate, a toy ring. There is also the three minutes of fame, which is a stage completely prepared for artists to present themselves and make known any type of talent they have, it has a dressing room, wardrobe, it has a screen, lights, sound, everything, so that the person can register and present themselves.

Look: What is the biggest challenge of this delivery?

JAR: Our biggest challenge for this year is to be able to exceed people’s expectations. The expectations left by last year were very high, to exceed them in every sense, in staging, production, activities, music, shows, achieving a larger capacity, that is a great challenge. But in reality it is above all about surpassing ourselves and offering a better product.

Look: What is the process of selecting artists?

JAR: The process of choosing the artists, we base a lot on Colombian artists, supporting a lot of local talent, in fact, there are few national artists, because here in Colombia there is a lot of talent and it is good to always highlight and support it. We try to have LGBTI talents for the most part, Jimmy de Suelta as Gabete is in charge of all the artists, I am in charge of the electronic artists and the drags, it is a mix of Colombian talent, we selected Alyssa Edwards because She is one of the best, we wanted someone very top.
