Wig

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. The documentary draws 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, and follows celebrated drag queen Lady Bunny as she resurrects Wigstock for a new generation. It also features appearances by Wigstock’s co-producers, actor Neil Patrick Harris and his husband, David Burtka, who, as longtime Wigstock fans, help Lady Bunny with the revival.
