Opera Tang makes her debut as a drag queen in 2020, during the global pandemic. She performs in drag with the support of her drag sister Ada Heart. Her 90-year-old grandmother helps her with drag costumes, and her lover Simon provides her with emotional and physical support in and out of drag. Together with her biological and chosen family, Opera navigates a rapidly changing landscape of queer acceptance in Singapore. BABY QUEEN is a documentary portrait of a young drag queen's everyday life, and a testament to the social attitudes towards queerness in contemporary Singapore.
A Tiger Tiger Pictures Production, ‘BABY QUEEN' is the third feature after ‘Some Women' by Quen Wong, and Lei Yuan Bin's ‘I Dream Of Singapore', which is part of the UNSEEN series, created by Glen Goei to give voice to marginalized communities in Southeast Asia.
