Synopsis:
"Undressing Vanessa" is a deconstruction of one of Australia's best known drag queens: Vanessa Wagner. In many ways, she is an "anti-drag queen:" she allows her sideburns to show, she rejects expensive dresses, and doesn't take herself seriously as a woman.
Vanessa Wagner is a complex construction; she is a man playing a man and a woman, and as such subverts the usual drag paradigm. She does not lip sync to pop songs in gay clubs; instead, she uses the platform she has created to make her politics heard, to give a voice to the disenfranchised, and to agitate for change in head-to-toe 70's camp costume.
Underneath the frivolity and fun, lies a sobering reality that belies her zany exterior. When Vanessa is undressed, we see that all is not what it may appear to be...
