About Kelindah aka Theydy Bedbug:
Kelindah has been performing as Drag Persona, Theydy Bedbug since 2016. They are the current reigning “Mx. Brooklyn 2019,” “the bug bite you beg for,” and the “dad joke of drag.” Their art is a collage of campy drag, grotesque burlesque and narrative poetry to reclaim their body, queer audiences, and reckon with belonging.
Their performances combine spoken word poetry, lip sync, narrative storytelling, authentic movement, character work, costume, makeup, puppetry, and audience interaction in order to playfully ask the piercing questions: Who can we be if we approach our inherited roles as options rather than proscriptions? They believe that when we connect and create art that channels our authentic expression liberated from gender norms, we make space for more ways of being.
