Pride Special: Dragshow, Catwalk and Classical Music
A very unique evening where the audience gets to experience that art form of dragshow in company with classical music and queer composers.
A playful show at Konserthuset Stockholm during Stockholm Pride, with the theatre company Bland drakar och dragqueens (Among dragons and dragqueens) and musicians of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. It’s a unique event where classical music meets dragshow in the beautiful Grünewald Hall of Konserthuset. The artists Björta and Tant Henrik together with director Petter Wallenberg perform to live classical music by queer composers.
This is at the same time a performance, a concert, a party and a creative workshop, with singing, dancing and interaction. There will be lots of glitter, and humour even more. For this evening, a catwalk is set up and the audience get to experience dragshow as an art form. Anyone can be a star for one evening, but at the same time it is of course possible to enjoy the show without participating.
Welcome to a rainbow-tinted evening that redefines classical music, queer clubbing culture and drag.
