A drag show like no other, the pair invite some of Berlin’s finest drag entertainers to shine in this multisensory showcase. Daniela Candela, Kaleidolicious, & Lawunda Richardson. For the first time in Ballhaus Ost’s herstory, the Dames are bringing Drag to the main stage! Mixing the spontaneity and style of Berlin drag with the grandeur and glamour of theatre. Join the Dames around their big pink furry piano for this once in a lifetime spectacle.

Amour, humour & glamour.
The Dames is a musical duo created in 2022. Starting as a camp piano-karaoke evening in queer bars and private events, it evolved into an immersive, almost ritualistic performance in theaters and art galleries. It is between these two extremes that they create magic.
