VIENNA – Life Ball è il più grande evento di beneficenza d’Europa, organizzato per la raccolta fondi per la ricerca su AIDS e HIV. Si tratta di un evento festoso e pagano, andato in scena quest’anno sabato 16 maggio.
La cerimonia di apertura è stata accompagnata da una sfilata di Jean Paul Gaultier. Moltissime le celebrità presenti: Sean Penn e Charlize Theron, la regina del bourlesque Dita Von Teese e la drag queen Conchita Wurst diventata famosa dopo aver vinto l’Eurovision Song Contest nel 2014.
