The first Georgian Drag Queens
We are 50 people of us, in the basement of a building, in one of the central districts of Tbilisi. The word quickly spread around the city, that ''Drag Show'' was taking place.
I remember how my friend advised me not to go there, because it was dangerous. No one was supposed to know, what the show was about to take place, 4 meters underground. And from that day on, the subject of my observation is this very scene and the culture. How is Drag developing in Georgia and what happens, when you can become a different person for a night and talk out about, what you can't say in normal life....
Today, Drag shows and queer scenes are not just for entertainment. It carries a political message and is also the bearer of an important social change.
