Bring Drag Back to the Theatre #3: MATES & MA SCara

Hot GLAM! Plein Theater and Lesbique are hosting a series of Drag Nights! For this third edi tion we are superexcited to announce to collaborate with MATES &am p; MASCara - a monthly celebration of drag kings, things, creatur es, and all forms of gender-bending expressions.

The team of MATES & MASCara consists of Alfa Hoer, Phallic Patrick and Mannish Pixel. Special for Bring Drag Back to the Theatre they create a performa nce, blending drag and theatre.

The performance weaves together the fates of four Amsterdam me, each entangled in a city-specific mystery tha t left them indebted, who collide at a casino table, gambling for the 10,0 00 Euro lifeline that could free them. Through the symbolic language of ca rds and a dynamic map of Amsterdam, their backstories and high-stakes game unfold, revealing both the city’s hidden layers and the unpredictable han d of fate.

About the artists

Alfa Hoer (they/them) is a Latinx performer and organizer working acr oss drag, BDSM, satire, and queer intimacy. They create worlds where shame , desire, and absurdity collide. As part of the core team of MATES&MAS Cara and The Artist Circle Amsterdam, and initiator of BOTTOMsUP and BUB, they build spaces for collective joy and political tenderness led by FLINT A people.

Their work pushes the boundaries of care and collapse, wi th a moustache as armor and mess as ritual. Rooted in Amsterdam’s undergro und scene, their work grows from the communities that hold and inspire the m.

Phallic Patrick: A satire of masculinity at its most pumped-up and pathetic. Think CEO ego, fuckboi charm, gabber energy, and bromance gone too far.
He exposes the absurdity of the phallic by pushing it to its sweaty, homoerotic limits—where macho turns messy and t he closet door starts to creak.

Mannish Pixel is a n Amsterdam-based 'dragtivist" and drag king, known as the 'g lam daddy' of the House of Extinction. Combining drag with climate ac tivism and using sustainable fashion to highlight diversity within the cli mate movement, he focuses on theatrical and visual performances related to environmental issues.

About Bring Drag Back to the Theatr e

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

Beyond the velvet cu rtains, drag has always ruled the night. It shaped nightlife, fueled creat ive revolutions across the globe, and stood courageously on the front line s of LGBTIQ+ emancipation — then and now.

This dazzling series of d rag evenings at Plein Theatre is an ode to the art of dra g in all its forms. Expect iconic history, bold storytelling, and a glorio us spectrum of drag artistry as the most fabulous Queens, Kings, and fluid drag personas command the stage.

Join us on a journey where we bring drag back to the theatre — where it belongs — and cele brate, admire, and revel in its power, beauty, and unapologetic fabulousne ss.
