Paulette Pink

A film from the skater world of São Paulo, where it is women who call the shots. Bagdá is surrounded by self-confident role models in her family. However, outside on the streets, in the venues and clubs, the old machismo continues to dominate. Bagdá and her fellow comrades-in-arms confront it defiantly.

Six drag performers give an account of their artistic, personal and social experiences in Sao Paulo. Focusing on the creative processes that culminate in the performances, the artists share experiences from the cathartic and particular world of drag art: the creation and maintenance of a lifelong character. After investigating the specificities of this art, the documentary connects them to the social performance that all of us carry out daily.
