92 min · Documentary · Directed by Fil Ieropoulos · Starring Marissa Triantafyllidou, Veronique Tromokratisch, Kangela Tromokratisch
Also known as Avant-Drag! Radical Performers Re-Imagine Athens
Avant-Drag! paints portraits of ten drag artists of varying gender expressions and sexualities who take to the streets of Athens to query, problematise and (yes, please!) undermine social strictures. Employing wildly imagined personas – like riot housewives and Albanian turbo-folk girls – who perform acts as revolutionary as praising abortion and as charming as drawing childish pictures, these artists call for social justice by taking aim at conservatism, patriarchy, patriotism, racism and sexism.
