A portrait of photographer, film director and performer Hadi Moussally and his famous drag alter ego, Salma Zahore. In 2022, Salma burst onto the performance scene, captivating audiences at venues like Razzmatazz Club in Barcelona, La Bellevilloise in Paris, and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Neither male nor female, neither religious nor atheist, her performances challenge inherited ideas of gender, faith, and power, while unapologetically affirming her Lebanese, Arab, and queer identity. <\/p>\n<\/div>
