Drag performances are theatrical acts where individuals, often called drag queens or drag kings, dress in exaggerated clothing and makeup to portray a gender different from their own. These performances can include singing, dancing, lip-syncing, and comedy, often highlighting themes of gender, identity, and social commentary. The art of drag has roots in various cultures and has gained popularity through events like RuPaul's Drag Race. Drag shows are commonly held in nightclubs, theaters, and community events, providing entertainment while also fostering a sense of community and acceptance among diverse audiences.
