HBO’s ‘Wig’ Celebrates Drag Culture

‘Wig’ Available for Download Dec. 16

Featuring footage of the present drag scene and performances from the ‘80s and ‘90s, ‘WIG’ celebrates the early days of New York drag culture, and those personalities and performances that contribute to today’s understanding of queerness, art and identity. Drawing on unfiltered access to some of New York’s famed drag artists – including veterans and newcomers such as Charlene Incarnate from the Bushwig scene, Flotilla DeBarge and Linda Simpson – WIG follows celebrated drag queen Lady Bunny as she resurrects Wigstock for a new generation.
