Le Pustra(born 1977) is an artist, actor, creative director and internationally recognised artistic figure and subcultural icon. Known for his blend of extravagance, androgyny, avant-garde creativity and melancholic beauty, Le Pustra has become an iconic figure in the contemporary European underground and art scene. Since his debut on the cabaret scene in 2006, ‘Madame’ Le Pustra has developed into a fascinating and enigmatic personality who explores the boundaries of gender and self-expression. His work combines performance, drag, visual art and gothic fashion to create a unique aesthetic that is virtually unrivalled in the modern cabaret and theatre scene in terms of mysticism and glamour.

The artist's androgynous and enigmatic presence allows him to seamlessly transform into different characters and blur the boundaries of gender and identity. His visually striking and thought-provoking performances offer a glimpse into the past while challenging us to question the present moment. In the spirit of the Weimar era, Le Pustra's work is a celebration of individuality, non-conformity and the enduring power of artistic expression.

The legacy of Le Pustra is a testament to the enduring power of art to break down barriers and redefine what it means to be human.
