A theater show we know, a drag we know too, but what happens when you put them together? You get a political, radical, and unapologetic drag line that comes to check out all the identities in the rainbow and all in the theater with a guest performance by Ohad Shragai.

Meet Strange Prote, a queer collective, kicking and biting (by agreement), which will air on December 12, a special show to conclude this past year. "We are a collective of six artists. Both drag and performance, which have been together for more than two years, a small show called Strange Prote," Anton tells Walla Pride. Comprised of performers: Zaza, FCA, Anton, Assis d'Arange, Shoshana Benaharah (among the mongers), Please Tachment and Nona Shalant.

"They all joined together in the desire to create a different, groundbreaking drag show that doesn't limit itself to a single slot. Somehow, together, we managed to build this strange thing that each time surprises us, challenges us and our audience, and redefines the meanings of drag, identity. And gender, ”Anton added.

How was the name Strange Fruit born?

Assis : "So Why Strange Prote? Because We Are Strange! Because we have quirky, uplifting quirks, and we also see the long way we have to go until we are all free in the world. - We remember and remember the pain, and also express hope for the future with other fruits, seductive and juicy ripe on the stage no Yor Pace. Appetite! "

What makes you a trigger?

Shoshana Benahuhim : "What not? (Laughs) The world is full of triggers. Almost everything art meets today is a political and controversial issue. We just choose to work with it and bring it to the stage. We find it strange that drag in Israel, as subversive art, will not engage In Occupation and War, Poverty and Capitalism, Violence on All Issues. Especially when all these issues are closely related to gender and gender relations. In short, on stage, for a change, rather than shrinking from our triggers - we celebrate them! "

Are you a drag family?

Anna : "For more than two years now, there have been parties that are reminiscent of family - know each other's scratches and know how to support (or annoy). There are loads of internal jokes, sometimes quarrels and reconciliations, and roles have formed within the group. And with all the internal drama, sure In drag, there is also the personal work outside, in diverse areas (drag, poetry, dance, improvisation, fashion, performance, theater) and with other groups. That's what we find interesting - we put together something from different parts, we constantly learn from each other, combining The worlds, and still are. "

Why in the theater?

Zaza : "The theater takes the drag out of the bar and underground culture into the stage of a theater.
Stretching the existing for stage conceptions and other fields of art such as using video art projection, changing backdrops and a fringe combination, we also enjoy glitches that only happen in the theater, let's say a power outage is welcome and we enjoy improvising with the audience. "

And this is the proof that you are judgmental

What does the upcoming show look like?

Nona : "Like all our shows, we like to surprise! This time around we are celebrating a year and a decade at a royal fruit ceremony, laughing a little and checking the boundaries of reality culture and competitions, winning? Losing? Not with us ... Tide to entertain the talented Shragai fan with original music, a fan Just starring in "Next Star for the Eurovision Song Contest" is not something foreign to him. Another special guest is Rotem Nachmani who will first unveil her male alter ego "Amit Bolez" and I'm launching my new single Super Queen so the excitement is great! "

The show will also be joined by singer and creator Ohad Shragai, and we will try to understand ... What for him and Drag?

I have always appreciated and even envied the people who come up with drag, "says Shragai ." With the freedom, courage, creativity and art they bring to their body and being. I am very excited to take part in the upcoming StrangeProtot show, which, beyond the fact that it is a drag show, is a high and important art that has been happening here and has been gaining tremendous momentum in recent years.

So on December 12, you are all invited to the Tmuna Theater, the Journey to the Disturbed Head, to laugh at the mainstream and to explore where our true freedom is. more details? Here in the evening. Tickets? Here at Tmuna Theater.
