PLOT

Massi, Addi, Lylybeth and Joy are four non-binary artists at a turning point in their careers on Brussels' burgeoning drag scene. While this chosen family is close-knit and supportive, their blood family often has difficulty understanding their identity and their craft. Many truths and emotions remain unspoken. Their shows, sometimes very funny, sometimes very dark, often both, are directly inspired by their daily struggles. The stage allows them to express their gender identities. It's also their livelihood and the place where they draw the energy to force their way into our society. As their performances become increasingly notable, a quest for identity and artistic recognition takes shape. These artists aspire to something essential: the need to embrace who you are and, above all, to be accepted for who you are.
