Pepi

2013-2023 // Fictive figure // Drag performance

Pepi, supposedly the daughter-son of Ziggy Stardust, Divine, and a giant ‘Draag’, has unclear origins, however, some of the most trusted sources of information tell about timeless unexplored worlds. Her-his contradictory artistic career, impregnated with grandiose shows and deep flops, faithfully follows her-his leitmotiv: “Show you as you are, no more, no less.” She-he gives no interviews and doesn’t talk willingly to strangers. Some say she-he doesn’t understand any language but love, as wonderful and cruel it can be.

Pepi was a fictive figure and a former member of the FREIraum Ensemble, the RAVE-Collective and had some cameo appearances for the experimental electronic music project ladyboi.
