Untold Asian Stories and Spreken is Goud by De Roma invite you to a vibrant evening celebrating Asian identity, queer joy and the power of drag.

Expect an unforgettable night of singing, dancing, spoken word and fabulous performances by two of the Belgian drag scene’s most exciting talents: Paula Roïd and Puki Harana.

Alongside their performances, Paula and Puki will join us for a conversation about drag as an art form, its inherent political power, and how it can become a way of exploring, reclaiming and celebrating Asian heritage.

At the heart of the evening are self-discovery, connection and pride as protest. Slaysian Night is centred around Asian communities, but it is not exclusive to Asian diaspora. Allies are warmly welcome too!

This program is in English.

Cast:

Popularly chic Paula Roïd combines her artistic references and her Sri Lankan culture to create acts that are both visual and mesmerising. With her, expect strong messages and unique performances that make her a colorful character and an important figure of the Belgian drag scene.

Puki Harana, in 3 P’s: Pretty, Pussy, Pinay. This Filipina is known as the Dancing Queen of the Belgian Scene. But like most Filipina’s that’s not the only trick she got up her sleeve. Using the artform of drag, she finds connection to her heritage and will gladly share the beauty of her culture with her audiences. Get ready for Pagmamahal!

Kitty K’Toy en Dick Le Qing of Untold Asian Stories, also known as the Nicole and Hugo of Belgian-Asian drag, will guide you through the evening and host the conversation with Paula and Puki. Or at least, they'll try… With these two, you never quite know how the evening will end.
