Pretzel Cage: Drag Neurosis

21st March 2026

The Alley Bar

A surreal exploration of psychoanalysis, interpretation, and transformation at Ramsgate's Alley Bar

7pm - 11.55pm

Drawing on Bella Freud’s interview series Fashion Neurosis as both source material and provocation, this new work spirals into the self-obsessed obsessing-over-the-self: fragmenting and reforming dialogue into abstract, non-linear, and deeply subjective streams of vocalised consciousness.

Drag Neurosis unfolds as a series of lip-sync monologue journeys, displaced between Butoh-inspired movement and visceral physical expression. The work delves into subconscious terrain, discomfort, tension, hilarity and paradox where meaning slips, fractures, and reforms.

Through an editorial process of redaction and reconfiguration, each monologue is rerouted toward new subjective interpretations, charged with character, implication, and suggestion. Becoming undeniably autobiographical rumination's on drag, gender, queerness and transness.

Expect a performance of the strange, the subversive, the absurd, the poignant and the potentially uncomfortable.

Age restriction: 18+
