All about Mimi – Shlomi Ruimi (NO)

Kick off the Pride celebration in the best possible way – with an unparalleled drag show!

Carte Blanche dancer Shlomi Ruimi’s alter ego, Mimi Divine, is a fierce entertainer and an even fiercer drag queen. “All About Mimi” is his first performance and a visual and honest representation of queer culture. The show dissects body ideals, sensuality, and social media in ways we’ve never seen before.

“All About Mimi” is a performance where Mimi dances, lip-syncs, and acts out her wildest fantasies while also presenting the challenges of daily life as a mother of young children.

“The audience can expect a good dose of glamor, humour and self-irony, but the show doesn’t shy away from trivialities and downright sad matters. The perspective is fresh, and the presentation is a pure visual delight.”

Together with four dancers from the Norwegian ballroom scene, Mimi takes the stage by storm, brimming with confidence. In daring dresses and high heels, she balances everyday life as a mother of young children with the ballroom culture’s practice of self-belief. It’s challenging, bold and surprising.

“It’s as if, through costume changes and various acts with increasing intensity, they dance their way towards a core of something essential and serious, about who you are, about belonging, and about togetherness.” – NRK

“Det er som om de gjennom kostymeskift og ulike nummer med stadig større intensitet danser seg inn mot en kjerne av noe nødvendig og alvorlig som handler om hvem man er, om å høre til og om å høre sammen.”
