Evening is falling like a tree, a kiss or a curtain.
Our festival day is starting to get naughty and playful.
The sun is setting on our BIG DAY and with the first shadows our favourite fairy, La Sorny, appears. Then Norma Mor springs from the darkness to share a revolutionary form of drag which transforms the world.
Like a goddess springing forth from the waters, Nativa Reina Mexicana comes onstage to make our hearts and bodies throb.
And the final exorcism comes from Megane Mercury, their turntables and their interstellar power.

How much is the show? by Norma Mor. This is a solo performance by the transvestite actress and drag performer Norma Mor, who goes beyond the traditional conception of drag as a frivolous art or a mere eccentric entertainment spectacle. This show is built to be a pedagogical and critical experience which invites the audience to get infected with drag practice by revealing its stage techniques, its history and its cultural importance.
Using a playful, participatory approach, the performer guides the spectators on a journey that deconstructs the key elements of drag: the famous reveals, lip syncing (or playback) and the construction of characters through exaggeration and transformation. These techniques are not only performance tools but also forms of political expression and identity resistance.
Norma Mor / Muerte a la Norma is an interdisciplinary transvestite artist, an activist for sexual and gender dissidence and a Chilean actress living in Barcelona. Her work focuses on performance and the visual arts, exploring the boundaries of gender performativity through transformism and stage practices related to drag. As a visual artist, she is part of the creative duo M0nster.L4b along with Lu Chieregati, which had an artistic residency at La Escocesa in 2024-2025, along with the Graner 2025 residency with the project El archivo vivo de lo efímero [The Living Archive of the Ephemeral]. The actress is the director and producer of the critical entertainment programme Kobra Kuir, and as a workshop leader she shares her knowledge and practices by fostering an open dialogue on identity, gender and art. She has a bachelor’s in Theatrical Representation Arts from Finis Terrae University (Chile), a diploma in acting and a post-graduate degree in Theatre Pedagogy from the University of the Americas (Santiago de Chile). She is currently pursuing the Independent Studies Programme (PEI) at Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona.
Her career combines academic training with a disruptive artistic practice which positions her as an important voice in the contemporary art and activism scene in both Spain and Ayab Yala.

Performance by Nativa Reina Mexicana. This is a sound and visual journey through Latin American music, reflecting what it means for Nativa to be a ‘migratory bird’, an idea she uses to always bear in mind her identity as a racialised migrant in a country that is not her own.
Nativa, AKA ‘The Indigenous Queen Painted by the Sun’, is a Mexican drag queen with roots in Oaxaca. She is especially known as the Queen of Lavapiés (a central district in Madrid) due to her street performances in that neighbourhood in the spring and summer over the past ten years. Through these street performances, Nativa takes those Latin American sounds to the streets of Madrid’s most multicultural neighbourhood: cha-cha-chas, boleros, cumbias, rancheras, etc., all those sounds mixed with outfits that reflect the most Mexican garb that Nativa can wear as a Mexa identity: her dark skin. Nativa is also a mother and the founder of the Casa Drag Latina.
