Sphères - Les Drags n°17

The rebirth of a plural drag. On one side, the Drag Race phenomenon that sparked drag's revival, first in the US, then in France, putting new queens on prime-time TV, in bookshop windows and across social media. On the other, a wealth of more experimental and radical practices pushing drag's boundaries – queens moving away from perfect femininity, kings playing with codes of masculinity, and "creatures" blurring the lines.

Opening with a conversation between Paloma and Le Filip, two of the last three Drag Race France winners, this 17th issue of Sphères explores the drag community in Uganda, Italy and Réunion, through humour, literature, cinema and even children's stories. It talks about the thrill of the stage, identity, fear of repression and chosen family – and, everywhere, politics. In French.
