Armenia sits at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. In contrast to much of the European Union where the drag scene is mainstream, it remains underground in Armenia. Performers face stigma, police pressure, threats of violence, and rejection by their own families.
Despite all this, drag queens have built a vibrant, bustling community that has attracted both local Armenians and international crowds. They make up a passionate and determined microculture challenging ultraconservative norms. And this avant-garde scene is, in turn, being influenced by Armenia’s evolving political landscape.
As Yerevan strengthens ties with the EU and distances itself from Moscow, conservative Christian country has become a refuge for tens of thousands of Russians fleeing the war in Ukraine – reshaping Armenian society in unexpected ways.
Renée Bertini and Kal Berjikian from ENTR as well as FRANCE 24's François Picard take us inside this hidden microculture in an upcoming documentary, produced with support from the Pulitzer Center.
