Laura freijo justo & Inma Rodríguez Solán
According to her own words, Laura Freijo Justo is a playwright who acts, an actress who writes. She is a director and writer out of necessity, a puppeteer of the performing arts and everyday life. She's a tightrope walker of the most creative madness, a storyteller with a heart, and a vestal of words, just in case.
At the Sitges Queer Fest, she will take part in the Queer Varietés with the micro-theatrical piece "Comiat" (Farewell), alongside Inma Rodríguez Solán.
Furthermore, she'll be doing a double act because the following day she will participate in the Vemouth Poétiqueer, a full-fledged poetic gathering.
Juan Carlos Uríszar
The theater is their passion. Their love for performance led them on a journey that took them to experimental, traditional, and musical theater, training in various groups and well-known schools. 24 years ago, they settled in Sitges, where they have continued to fuel their enthusiasm for theater, currently at the CSL Theater Workshop.
This great actor will perform "Arnold en el camerino," a highly personal adaptation of the opening monologue from the play "International stud," the first in the "Torch song trilogy" by Harvey Fierstein. A monologue that will make you smile and feel tender at Queer Varietés.
Labitti
Nascut i criat a Vitigudino, un petit poble de la Salamanca més rural.
D'allà a les grans capitals, cal estudiar i treballar, fins a acabar a Barcelona on Labitti comença a caminar, veient l'escena ballroom i jugar amb la dansa i la seva pròpia masculinitat.

Drag King Don Amor
Einar Sánchez (she) will be the performer of Don Amor (he) with an energetic show that takes us to the streets of South America with the most danceable and powerful sounds. Gender is not the only issue represented on stage, but also the identity issue of migrant people.
Who am I if I don't even know where I come from?
What will the artist do? Sing, dance, and above all, transmit high energy.
BIO WEB/INSTAGRAM/MEDIA:
Born on the streets of San Roque, Don Amor knows he is a dreamer. He wishes the city's laws were all about perreo (a style of dance) and dissidence, but he also understands that we cannot break the chains without first understanding them.

You can't miss her at the Queer Varietés.
Elisa Lein
With my words, I train in the art of living, expressing ideas, thoughts, reasoning, or abstraction.
I run alongside events and society, I climb into the hearts of lovers, and I sail in the agony of love and heartbreak. I write and recite prose and poetry that, as an escape valve, are my triathlon in pursuit of the most precious medal. To live in freedom!
Since November 2017, she has organized poetry recitals with an LGTBI theme in the city of Barcelona, known as "Aquelarre POÉtico."
Furthermore, she has published the poetry book "De mujeres y ceniza," which you will have the opportunity to purchase and take home signed.
She will shake and lead with her art and sense of humor the Vermouth Poéticqueer.

Germán Chocero
Born in 2002, he is a young poet.
A poet by chance, young by conviction. He is also an artist and performer. His poetry permeates his life and is often presented to the public on slam stages, in oral poetry competitions. His artistic practice has led him to be interested in the poetic as an act of resistance.
Andrea Cacace
Writer, poet, and rhapsodist.
Andrea Cacace (1988) was born in Buenos Aires, grew up in Brazil, and lives in Spain. She holds a degree in Dramatic Art (USAL), is a Yoga and Meditation Teacher (Rishikul, India), and is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Cultural Management (UOC).
Much to her chagrin, she is a multifaceted artist. In the field of writing, she has studied playwriting, narrative, screenwriting, and poetry. She has been writing poetry since she was ten years old and waited another twenty-three for this: her first book. She is currently working on her second book.
Laura Freijo Justo
Poet, playwright, director, and performer. I have written more than a dozen poetry books, of which I have published "I Am What You Are Looking For" and "Somewhere in the World" in e-book format. With my theatrical poetic solo "I Am What You Are Looking For," I have performed nearly ninety times, including two seasons in Barcelona and various national and international festivals. With LasCarasB, I have performed more than a dozen times. I have also created theatrical shows based on my poetry, both solo and in collaboration: "All Those Girls" (Tantarantana Teatre), "Geminianas" (with Eva Hibernia), and "I Love Only You" (Waiting for Bardot) (with Txus García).
Despite being prolific, my publications have been scarce because I have preferred to write and recite in person rather than pursue and persuade editors. There was a time when reciting was a way to breathe; I remember it fondly.
La perritaIntergalactica
Rhapsodist.
I am a not very arithmetic wave in a too algorithmic sea, poetry dedicated to entangling what doesn't fit in me, so that it fits even less outside.
Defender of the tacky style, my poetry is nothing more than an example that I couldn't do worse, but it heals so many wounds to do it so poorly...
First drink included with the ticket

SANTIAGO CALLEJA arrabal
(1966). He was awarded the first prize in poetry in 2005, in a competition organized by Editorial Novelarte, Córdoba (Argentina), in an open and international call, publishing: "Vices, Angels, and Virtues" in 2006 by said editorial. He studied Philosophy at the University of Barcelona and later took courses in Foreign Trade and languages, which he professionally pursued in the private sector. He is from Barcelona and resides in L'Hospitalet del Llobregat. His interest in poetry has been a constant in his life (he has been writing since adolescence).
His work oscillates between a poetic/metaphysical (magical) view of reality, sexual identity, and the realm of reflection. Beyond seeking answers, his texts pose questions, are provocative, leaving the reader with the task of extracting the message, in a wide range of themes and emotions.
Published books: "Vicios, Ángeles y Virtudes (Vices, Angels, and Virtues)” (Ed. Novelarte, 2006), "Elogio del Lado Oscuro (In Praise of the Dark Side)” (Trafford Publishing, 2010), "Sodoma no es lugar para el corazón (Sodom Is Not a Place for the Heart)" (Ed. Rapitbook, 2020).

I have published a book of educational literary tales, "Four Tales of Literature" (Ed. Hendere, 2019), in both Catalan and Spanish versions.
I am the author of two poetry books: "Bestiary in Japanese" (kdp, 2018), with music by Daniel Palomino, and "Suprematist Poems - Senryus in Malèvitx" (kdp, 2018), with design by Sheila Bonet.
This year, I am promoting my most recent book, the novel "While the Candles Last" (Voliana, 2021).

KING G. OPENING
An artist with charisma who captivates the audience the moment they step on stage. Because they own it like a goddess.
A rapper, activist, queer, non-binary, in reality, no single adjective defines them. Or perhaps all of them...
They compose their own songs and are here to present their latest creation, EXPLICIT, opening the concert of the night.
King G. is a spectacle.

At the age of 25, they signed their first record contract, which allowed them to participate in various Catalan music festivals. The most renowned was the Black Music Festival, where they performed for three consecutive years, sharing the bill with famous names such as Gloria Gaynor. The last edition of BMF they participated in, in 2018, paid tribute to Aretha Franklin and featured the virtuoso "Black Music Big Band."
In 2017, they entered the "La Voz" competition on TV5, reaching the semifinals with the sponsorship of Malú.
