Synopsis:
Arde Lima follows the lives of fifteen drag artists in Lima, Peru—on stage and off—as they fight for visibility, identity, and joy in a society that often seeks to erase them. Through dazzling performances, raw interviews, and intimate moments, the film captures the power of drag as both personal expression and political resistance. Alberto Castro paints a moving portrait of a vibrant queer community that refuses to be silenced.
Join us for a dazzling and emotional night of cinema that honors resilience, artistry, and the fire that burns in Lima’s drag scene.
