Avant-Drag!
Not since ”Paris is Burning” has queer culture been observed so profoundly, yet they’ve captured their own stories this time. ”Avant-Drag!” offers an exhilarating look at ten Athenian drag performers who deconstruct the notions of gender, nationalism, belonging, identity, and police brutality proving that being othered never felt so familiar. ”Avant-Drag” is a thought-provoking documentary with the potential to challenge societal norms and reshape perceptions about LGBTQ+ individuals because we have captured the intimate lives of ten compelling drag performers in all their glory (warts and all).
