Drag Kings on Tour
Saturday, October 30 at 6:30pm
Directed by Sonia Slutsky
Canada, USA, Beta SP
80 minutes
A documentary about the wild "Kingdom Come" drag king tour, Drag Kings on Tour is a boisterous, wild ride! Six drag kings begin their 15-city tour through the United States and Canada with a kick off event for their fans in New York City.  Director Sonia Slutsky travels with them in their cramped motor home documenting their performances
in cities as diverse as Biloxi,
St. Louis, and Toronto.
Drag Kings on Tour allows us to see each individual present their own unique perspective on gender identity.  We see the kings boldly challenge traditional definitions of masculinity and femininity.
On the tour, we get to know each performer as if they are friends.  We experience their ups and downs, from drag king workshops in the Northeast, to accidents in the Mississippi Delta, fragile family reunions in the Midwest, and even a little bit of drama
within the troupe.
There will be a special drag king pre-screening performance by Portland’s own DKPDX!
