Drag performer Hinacio King was one of 15 competitors who took part in Brazil's King of Kings contest, the country’s first drag king competition
King is taking part in Brazil's King of Kings competition, the first of its kind where 15 drag kings from around the country compete to win the title.
"I just want to cause a bit of a shock. I want to make white cis heterosexual boys feel uncomfortable, that's my goal”, said King, 33, who out of drag goes by Sarah Franchine, an occupational therapist who works with children. Drag kings are mostly female or transgender performers playing exaggerated male characters, but the contest is open to anyone.
"It's historic, because we don't have a contest or an event dedicated to drag kings in Brazil," said 43-year-old drag king Lorde Lazzarus, who organized the event. "For me, drag came as a gender expression at first because I am transgender, but I didn't realize that when I was a kid. I established myself as a drag king and that was a way I found to express myself as a performer and also as a step in my discovery that I was transgender," Lazzarus said.
