Queens of Heart brings to the screen the fabulous complexity of drag dhows and their characters who dance into our psyches. Darcelle XV is the longest-running drag club in the United States and an Oregon institution. A bachelorette night visit to the club has become a rite of passage for women throughout the Pacific Northwest celebrating their ‘last night out.’ The proprietor, seventy-five year old Darcelle, performer and community activist, comforts and confronts her audiences, from the brides gone wild and their nervous male companions, to gays and lesbians celebrating a step towards coming out, to older women recovering from an illness or divorce. Her sassily dispensed bon mots bring audiences together reminding us that although we may look different, a good laugh is universal. |
