Abstract

A drag performance that seemed to parody the Eucharist in the opening<br/>ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris led to vehement protests by a<br/>variety of Christian leaders and institutions. By contrast, this paper argues<br/>that drag performances, understood as a playful exploration of possible<br/>identities, sheds refreshing light on Christian identity as it is constituted<br/>performatively and ritually. In particular, the subversive dimensions of such<br/>Christian identity can be appreciated more emphatically when viewing<br/>them through the lens of drag
