Avant-Drag!

An engaging and energetic documentary about ten Greek drag queens who take matters into their own hands on the streets of Athens. In daring and surprising performances, they expose the absurdities of social norms and tear gender, national and identity stereotypes into pieces. In their spectacular creations, they confront transphobia, police violence and the omnipresent patriarchy, and they do so in unmistakable style – because when their fight for social justice becomes art, there is no room for compromise. Full of colour, rebellion and courage, they become a living demonstration of freedom and diversity, unafraid to shake the conservative foundation of Greek society.
