Under The Dress

Running time: 23'

A hilarious journey of Aleksandr towards self-discovery and acceptance through the retro drag queen escape. He embarks upon a dazzling drag queen transformation in which he plays his own role: a character in search of his identity. Suspended in a performance between the real and the fantasy, Aleksandr confronts his ideas on sexuality, gender and his own past. “Under the Dress” is an exercise of mise en scène close to Werner Schroeter's, an ultra-contemporary form of demanding the legitimate right to any form of sexual identity.
