ARTIST SPOTLIGHT🎭: @die.lemma
Die Lemma is a trans femme artist of German and Ethiopian heritage who’s work blends music and drag, disrupting conformity with her incredibly unique performance. The self described drag troll has showcased her work all over London clubs, theatres, galleries and beyond - come and see her wreak havoc at POMP! On 29th May.
TICKETS IN BIO!🎟️🎟️🎟️🎟️🫵🫵🫵
There’s a movement in drag that yearns for a return to the dark, the weird and the shocking. When I ask @die.lemma about the state of drag now versus a few decades ago, she gives a pertinent reminder of the art form’s alternative roots.
“It used to be very political, it had this gender-bender weirdness and punkness to it. We moved to a very sterilised idea of what drag can be… We need to go back almost, go more punk and underground, to celebrate weirdness and extreme drag. I like to scare people in the audience. If I’m in the audience, I want to feel something.”
All the artists I speak to agree that the allure of money, fame and television has contributed to an influx of drag in London that they call “sterilised”, “ka-kitty-ka-ka” and “neoliberal bullshit”. The misconception that drag is an unserious art without craft or history or political implications is increasingly personified by superstar wannabes taking it up as a hobby.
How do we go back? We can look to honesty, confront our egos and embrace the strangeness of each other in our communities – and, at the same time, we can prioritise fun. We can protest the harshness and the fascism of our world by being unabashedly authentic with one another.

THERE IS NO ONE DOING IT LIKE @die.lemma - fight me !!!!
Die Lemma is a trans femme artist of German and Ethiopian heritage, blending the worlds of music and drag.
Her vocal performances pay homage to black music and old cabaret. Situated in the trans body, they disrupt prescriptive ideas of gender. In its place, she weaves reimagined possibilities using costume, craft and paint. Die Lemma regularly works all around London and beyond in queer venues and nightclubs but her work has also taken her to venues such as the National Theatre, Southbank Center, Barbican, the Roundhouse, Glastonbury Festival and the Box. She recently won the drag competition Top of the slops Allstars and recently sold out her first Drag theatre show, Peach, Shit & Die, with collaborator Masc Peach.
We absolutely adore @die.lemma and that's why we've booked her THREE times 😍😍🔥
Whoever snatches those last couple tickets is a lucky bugger 🤭

Such a cute evening with the incredible cast for the Rocky horror show by @tokenhomo a d @kingloosewillis at @riocinema . I had an amazing time playing Magenta/Trixie especially because I hold Rocky horror so dear to my heart and it being such a big inspiration.
Rocky Horror screenings will be back on the 2nd of May!!! 💋
