Drag art is colorful and versatile, has many faces, genders and histories! The art form is best known in the media for drag queens - but wait: there are also drag kings - the opposite equivalent of queens. And much more: there are drag quings, things, queers and monsters. It is precisely this diversity that we all need to be aware of! Historically and currently. Eric Big Clit and Ruby Tuesday want to make the long history of women* in drag (in theater and in everyday life) visible. As established artists in the drag scenes of Vienna and Munich, they present a mixture of presentation, performance and drag show. Both entertaining and educational - and appealing to a scene audience as well as drag newcomers. Everyone is invited - regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
By and with Ruby Tuesday & Eric Big Clit and participants of the Open Stage
Eric Big Clit aka Alice Moe is a performer, entertainer and activist (Vienna) Alice Moe was born in Salzburg in 1989. A few years ago, Alice became Eric Big Clit: a drag king monster who is not afraid of any medium - from mainstream to subculture. Influences for his* performances are from the sex-positive, queer & feminist fields. The motto: gender fluid & gender fluids. Whether as anti-hero, comic example or successful transformation: Eric wants to show that change and representation is always a process & possible. From glittering bodies to the muddy abysses of the human soul. Away with the index finger, up with the fist! He* has been booked throughout Austria and Western Europe since 2018. Since 2023 Alice/Eric is also Mag. art.
