the post-modern hyperpop diva of tartu
Pronouns in drag: They/them
Dykeonaut enjoys the gray area between the masculine and feminine, bending oppressive gender roles on every stage they step on. A lot of their drag is inspired by 2000s Estonian pop-culture nostalgia and alternative pop-music of today.
Off the stage, Dykeonaut volunteers at Behemoth's center (local LGBTQ youth organization) and has helped organize drag events in Tartu.
