Heelcat is a Greek drag artist whose work blends pop culture, haute couture, and a touch of dark sensuality. Inspired by designers like Mugler and Alexander McQueen, and shaped by the aesthetics of fetish fashion, she creates performances that feel sculptural, polished, and emotionally charged. Her presence on stage is fierce yet elegant, an exploration of power, identity, and beauty in its most unconventional forms.
As both performer and creative director, Heelcat builds her worlds from the ground up. She art directs, choreographs, directs, mixes, and designs the full visual narrative of her shows, crafting experiences that balance movement, atmosphere, and attitude with editorial precision. Every frame she creates, whether in motion or stillness, carries a sense of depth and intention.
Having performed at EuroPride and across numerous clubs and stages, Heelcat brings a fresh and forward-thinking energy to the drag landscape. Her artistry draws from queer culture, avant-garde fashion, and the transformative power of performance, resulting in a persona that feels both contemporary and timeless.
Unapologetic, imaginative, and rooted in a dark yet refined aesthetic, Heelcat stands as a distinctive voice in modern drag, pushing boundaries while remaining deeply connected to the art of performance.
