Inspired by the music and aesthetics of the first half of the twentieth century — from tango and waltz to jazz standa rds — Pia often sings live over historical orchestral recordings. Her voic e blends with the sounds of old records, creating a dialogue between past and present.

Costume, hats, and theatrical presence form an essenti al part of the work. Pia Vapeur moves between nostalgia and performance, b etween cabaret and art. In her performances, an atmosphere of longing and stillness emerges, in which the audience is briefly lifted out of time.

About Bring Drag Back to the Theatre

Bring Drag Back to the Theatre is a bold and extravagant homage to DRAG in all its glittering glory. DRAG is not just a trend, it's a lavis h, rebellious art form with centuries of history. Born in the theatre, dra g emerged at a time when women were forbidden to step on stage, and men to ok on female roles, bending gender long before it was cool.

Beyond the velvet curtains, drag has always ruled the night. It shaped nightlife, fueled creative revolutions across the globe, and stood courageously on t he front lines of LGBTIQ+ emancipation — then and now.

This dazzlin g series of drag evenings at Plein Theatre is an ode to t he art of drag in all its forms. Expect iconic history, bold storytelling, and a glorious spectrum of drag artistry as the most fabulous Queens, Kin gs, and fluid drag personas command the stage.

Join us on a journey where we bring drag back to the theatre — where it belon gs — and celebrate, admire, and revel in its power, beauty, and unapologet ic fabulousness.
