PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE ACCEPTING

  ‘I always say “we’re born naked and the rest is drag.” Any performer who puts on an outfit to project an image is in drag. Everything you put on is to fit a preconceived notion of how you wanna be seen. It’s all drag. Mine is just more glamorous’ (RuPaul, cited in Baker 1994: 258). Discuss the relationship between the idea of performance as drag and the notion of performativity. Make reference to at least TWO examples of theatre or performance in your response
