Draglight District<\/h2>\n

Saturday Oct 4 \/ 16.30 \/ MDT –\u00a0 Slupskjulsv\u00e4gen 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a weightless horny faerie sparkling all around the room, catching gazes, leaving drool stains. It\u2019s hypnotizing – the crowd follows me. I lead them to the VIP cave, where I take off my wings, peel off my skin, and become an ancient timeless moody giant with heavy balls, hairy armpits and strong calves. They\u2019re scared. They scream: \u201cthat was not what I paid for!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

How can all that inhabit my body? How do I morph myself between the world of being paid to please cis men and the world of pleasing no one but my own gay belly button?<\/span><\/p>\n

DRAG LIGHT DISTRICT happens in the corner between the stripclub and the drag king show. For real, picture an actual corner of a poorly lit street, where an old married guy is withdrawing money from the ATM while a group of queer people smoke, laugh and flirt on the other side of the road, and you can hear a heavy metal song coming from somewhere nearby. Through a teasing dynamic, Sarah and Mari\u00ea unleash their queer desires, transitioning between rockstars and rockstaress. In this performance, they explore their lived experiences and fantasies around stripping and dragging, navigating the kinship that is formed in these environments, negotiating boundaries, living the dream, feeling the pain, healing the trauma while creating some new ones, exposing themselves and making that coin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Draglight District is performed by Mari\u00ea Mazer (they\/them) performance artist and\u00a0 dancer <\/span>Sarah Hanses (they\/she).\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2110″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css=”” qode_css_animation=”” link=”https:\/\/kulturbiljetter.se\/evenemang\/8206\/drag-light-district\/?lang=en”][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2107″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css=”” qode_css_animation=”” link=”https:\/\/kulturbiljetter.se\/evenemang\/8242\/cinema-queer-festivalpass-29-sep-5-okt-2025\/?lang=en”][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”2272″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css=”” qode_css_animation=”” link=”https:\/\/kulturbiljetter.se\/evenemang\/8241\/heldag-mdt\/?lang=en”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2213″ img_size=”full” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”center” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”1916″ img_size=”80×186″ css=”” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
