Drag performance is an artistic expression where individuals, often using exaggerated gender expressions, take on a persona and entertain. This typically involves elaborate costumes, makeup, and wigs. Performances can be diverse, including lip-syncing, singing, dancing, comedy, acting, and audience interaction.

Though historically associated with men performing femininity (drag queens), modern drag encompasses performances by all genders exploring and subverting societal expectations of gender and identity. Drag can be playful, satirical, political, or deeply personal, offering commentary on contemporary issues and celebrating LGBTQ+ culture.
