Commentaires de notre public appreciateur:

“Les Dukes of Drag c’est une troupe accessible de par son approche très “friendly“. J’aime beaucoup cette ambigüité, cette dualité avec laquelle ils jouent lors de leur spectacles qui apporte les gens à se questionner sur l’identité des genre. Il y a une profondeur et une légèreté qui facilitent l’accès à leur représentations et qui peut autant apporter les gens à réfléchir qu’à se divertir. C’est un investissement de notre temps qui en vaut énormément le détour. Je le conseille vivement!”

- Catherine, Montréal

“Les Dukes of Drag ont sorti de leur manche un spectacle drôle, sexy et franchement très au point dès le soir de la première. Impossible de s’ennuyer, et on en redemande. À quand une comédie musicale?”

- Suzanne, Montréal

C’étais très bien, on restait captivé du début à la fin du spectacle. Il y avait beaucoup de nouveaux numéros et des moments très drôle je recommande le show.

What people are saying about HeShe Kisses!

“interesting and innovative” - Tanya, girlports.com

“Hilarious and politcal” - Kate, Ottawa

“I’ve seen a lot of drag kings over the years, and it’s refreshing to see performances of this calibre. Rather than just relying on pelvic thrusts, thinly veiled misogyny and unimaginative innuendo, the Dukes of Drag get right into the political complexities of queerness and gender rebellion and they do it unapologetically. This isn’t to say that their shows are heavy (far from it!). More that they’ve got substance I’ve found lacking elsewhere. And, hallelujah, they have fun up there!” - Luna Allison
