In a city fueled by creativity, it‘s no wonder drag culture has made such a powerful impact on Berlin‘s mainstream audience and has been doing so for more than 30 years. Drag history dates back to the Shakespearean era, when women weren‘t allowed to perform in theaters due to religious reasons, so men took on both roles. One could argue that it was the root of gender fluidity, but it was mostly an underground culture. Today, in modern Berlin, it stands for so much more. Behind the eyeliner stroke, boldness of the lips, sensuality in movement stand countless hours of perfecting the craft. It is empowerment through the art form. In this guide you can find the best places to visit and completely emerge yourself in the amazing performances that attract the best crowds and ignite passion in the audience and performers alike.

About Berlin, the very first thing that comes to mind is freedom of expression. The diciplines to reflect this expressive soul are placed on the streets. Graffiti and Street Art takes huge amount of interest from tourists all around the world. Only problem is that graffiti and most street art techniques are illegal in Berlin.
