By popular demand, House of Pink is back at the Market Theatre for five performances only. Volume 3 promises to be unforgettable, with fun, music and great entertainment in the mix.
This third edition of the gender-bending popular drag show is directed by Lebohang Toko, where the queens take us through a journey of the ever evolving stages of what we today know as the culture of drag
The show pays homage to a rich and storied history of drag performance that has captivated audiences worldwide for decades. Drag performance, with its roots dating back to the late 19th century, has evolved into an electrifying art form that transcends gender norms and celebrates diversity, self-expression, and empowerment. From the glamorous, groundbreaking performances at legendary venues like the Stonewall Inn in the 1960s to the mainstream popularity of reality TV competitions in recent years, drag has become a powerful symbol of resilience and LGBTQ+ pride.
House of Pink Volume 3 is an affirming continuation of this legacy, featuring a talented cast of Johannesburg-based drag artists who will mesmerise, inspire, and entertain a broad range of audiences with their artistry and charisma.
The production is celebratory in tone. It’s a fun way of looking at the hopes, dreams, and ambition of LGBTQ+ experiences. Music, dance, and bold costumes take centre stage, championing resilience in the face of challenges.
In addition, The Market Theatre sees this production as another opportunity to proactively foreground the queer community’s performers and theatre practitioners on a mainstream stage, which many have for too long been excluded from. It promises Joburg audiences an unforgettable, spectacular time in the theatre, featuring exceptional drag queens.
Brace yourselves for five performances (including matinees on Saturday and Sunday) of fierceness. Get ready to enjoy a world of positive affirmation as House of Pink Volume 3 takes the stage, pushing the boundaries of what drag can be.
