A very successful and entertaining examination of body norms and gender roles. Beautifully nasty… Go see it!”

Georg Kasch, zitty (5 stars, highest rating)

Arche-men of the modern era. Concentrated drag masculinity.

A wild gender jamboree.

Patrick Wildermann, Tagesspiegel

How are identities made visible on stage - and how can we play with them? Inspired by the drag king workshops by the artist Diane Torr, Diane for a day investigates new ways of dealing with physicality on stage. Not only the performance of gender identities is examined and tested - the theatricality of one’s own privileges as well as those of others become the point of departure for jokes, anger and (self-)empowerment.
