Co-presented by Sapphic Saturday at Sidetrack
An outrageous lesbian pop musical satire inspired by the pop frenzy of the early 2000s, QUEENS OF DRAMA charts the rise and fall of new star Mimi Madamour and her passionate, rage-fueled love affair with punk icon Billie Kohler. Over the course of half a century we follow these drama queens as they top the charts and set sail on the course of mad queer love. Featuring an iconic cast, including Asia Argento and Alma Jodorowsky, and containing hit songs like 'Don’t Touch' by Yelle and 'Fisted to the Heart', this film vividly dissects the turbulence of toxic relationships—whether between fans and their idols or within passionate queer love affairs. Director Alexis Langlois brings his trademark glittercore pop-punk aesthetic to create a vibrant, unforgettable spectacle of music and passion.
Sapphic Saturday is the ultimate night out for lesbians, by lesbians, on the last Saturday of each month at Sidetrack Chicago from 5-9 pm. Featuring drag shows, dancing, games and giveaways, it is a place for sapphic hearts to gather, celebrate, and shine together.
