Dani Boi

Dani Weber performs as Dani Boi: a radical genderqueer drag king - or ‘dragtivist’ - with a mission to challenge oppressive gender norms. This non-binary artist of Sri Lankan heritage became the genderqueer star of clubs and cabarets from San Francisco to Melbourne, with chaotic performances that push the creative boundaries of drag. But while their onstage party antics celebrate inclusivity and sex-positivity, the realities of openly defying gender in public often invites confusion and insult. BOI intimately follows Dani’s performances and personal life as they negotiate gender politics and bring the art of drag into the now.
