What follows is a high-voltage explosion of Drag, music, and unapologetic fabulousness. Glitch meets glamour in this cinematic stage spectacle where the only thing fiercer than extinction... is a comeback.

Il Mondo – Relive Every Memory, A Timeless Experience
Step into Il Mondo, a heartfelt and elegant journey through timeless love songs, cinematic ballads, and real-life stories that span continents and decades. From iconic classics like Il Mondo, And I Love You So, and Bridge Over Troubled Water, to Always on My Mind, celebrated international vocalist Selim Kagee delivers each note with his signature warm richly textured voice, blending emotion, nostalgia, and irresistible charm.
More than a concert, Il Mondo is an experience. Audiences are taken on an emotional journey — from the warmth of family memories, listening to vinyl records on a Sunday afternoon as a child, to the grandeur of cinematic ballads — punctuated by witty, moving, and often surprising anecdotes, including singing the Welsh national anthem to millions on international television, and the chaos of family life.
Selim brings back the golden era of music, reminiscent of the iconic great romantic ballad singers that have come before. With tasteful visual backdrops, seamless storytelling, and a perfectly balanced mix of music and narrative, Il Mondo connects universally. Guests leave smiling, reminiscing, and often on their feet in ovation, touched by the beauty of dreams, the strength of love, and the enduring power of music.
