%X this article is a reflection on some echoes of the australian film "the adventures of priscilla, queen of the desert" (1994), by stephan elliot. the film enjoyed great success across the world, contributing to the popularization of drag queen characters, their performances, and cultivation of excess beyond the gay niche. damien riggs (2006), elaine laforteza (2006), and gilad padva (2000) have made this film an object of theoretical discussion as a cultural product. i discuss how fiction and reality intertwine in the dialogues between performance, art, and theory/reality. "the adventures of priscilla, queen of the desert" might have caused a higher impact in its country of origin, received as a document representation of diversity, national identity, and ethnic relations in australia.
