Our kings and queens<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Dancer and choreographer Sofia S\u00f6derg\u00e5rd, also known by her drag kingalter ego Qarl Qunt, met a group of women and men in 2021\u20132022 through the Norrlandsoperan\u2019s three-year community project \u201cDancing in Your Shoes,\u201d which focused on audience development and queer identity. She led the group through a series of workshops, and during a full day of drag, the participants transformed themselves into a group of personal drag kings and one queen. Together and individually, they explored their identities through gender-coded movements and poses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our kings and queens are back, and together with Qarl Qunt, we\u2019ll get a glimpse into their transformative workshop and a short drag show full of stereotypes, movement, and fabulousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterward, you’re all warmly invited to dance the night away with the kings & queens!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
