"dragON forever" is not only a performance, it is a never ending party as well as the final part of the trilogy "dragON". At the centre sits the question: What can lip-synced choreography be?  


"dragON forever" is the third part of the choreographic trilogy "dragON", which borrows its practice principles from the drag scene. After "dragON aka PONY", and "dragON aka PHOENIX", the trio Aleksandar Georgiev, Zhana Pencheva and Darío Barreto Damas (who together form the artistic team STEAM ROOM) are now turning their attention to the practice of lip syncing in relation to choreography and dance. 


"dragON forever" is an evening of eternity. A catwalk of masterpieces, failures, virtuosities and vulnerabilities. A motor with great kinetic impact. A party with no end. A glorious celebration of the potentials our aspirations hold. Riding along with what at first could be experienced as dull and superficial, STEAM ROOM puts an end to a journey of pleasure and joy which echo will last forever.


As an artistic team, STEAM ROOM situates itself somewhere between MTV dance videos and Western postmodern dance, offering an approach to dance that can be both intellectual, humorous and anti-elitist.

The team is formed by Aleksandar Georgiev, Zhana Pencheva and Darío Barreto Damas, three choreographers/dancers actively operating locally and internationally.
