(Deutsch) Priscilla – Königin der Wüste, mit Live Drag Acts

Besides “La cage aux folles”, “Priscilla, Queen of the desert” is one of the most popular classics of queer film history. We bring this kitsch masterpiece back to the Luxembourg cinema screen. Another highlight: real drag queens will perform some scenes live in front of the audience during and after the movie.

When: 09th of July 2019, 20.00

Entrance: 12€ / 8€ with official Pride Wristband

Anthony “Tick” Belrose (Hugo Weaving), using the drag pseudonym of Mitzi Del Bra, is a Sydney-based drag queen who accepts an offer to perform his drag act at Lasseters Hotel Casino Resort managed by his estranged wife Marion in Alice Springs, a remote town in central Australia. After persuading his friends and fellow performers, Bernadette Bassenger (Terence Stamp), a recently bereaved transgender woman, and Adam Whitely (Guy Pearce), a flamboyant and obnoxious younger drag queen who goes under the drag name Felicia Jollygoodfellow, to join him, the three set out for a four-week run at the casino in a large tour bus, which Adam christens “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”.
