Drag as Art at Marabouparken – the ex chocolate factory and a beautiful art space and sculpture park in Stockholm. For one night transformed into a performance space with the extraordinary flamboyant dandy Prince Poppycock with the legendary Kristian Hoffman; the wild surrealist New Civilisation from Wallenberg plus a photo exhibition of images from the Exquisite Identities: Queens and Clowns series by John-Paul Bichard. Queens and Klowns is a series of performer portraits taken just before/after they performed at the Queens and Klowns event at Södra Teatern. As Drag as Art’s inaugural event, the event showcase drag based cabaret and burlesque performances and a panel discussion that was both provocative and raised serious questions around the aesthetics, politics and context of drag in 2014 western culture.
