You’ve just witnessed the divas take over HAU1 and somehow you still want more? Well, hold your horses, because we’ve got you.
After the final curtain falls at HAU1, the ADIRA Drag Festival continues at ÆDEN until the early morning. Expect a full night of (Arabic & maaaaybe more) pop music, dancing, draaaamaMAMA and enough divas to make you question whether the performance show ever actually ended.
And because watching divas is simply not enough, we ask you: COME DRESSED AS YOUR FAVORITE DIVA! Channel your inner Haifa, Cher, Nancy, Dolly, Elissa, Najwa or the one diva who matters most: YOURSELF. Whether you serve full transformation or just a suspiciously glamorous pair of sunglasses is entirely up to you.

ADIRA is a queer Arab* party and event series based in Berlin.
“ADIRA” is a queer slang term in Levantine Arabic, describing someone with a strong presence who is capable and accomplished. In other words: fierce!
Founded in 2023 by Hassandra and xanax_attax, ADIRA celebrates Arab pop culture while reclaiming queer memory, archiving diasporic experiences and building connections across cities and communities. Rooted in the nostalgia of Arabic pop from the 80s, 90s and 00s, ADIRA creates spaces for resistance, collective expression and, of course, a little drama.
In 2024, ADIRA made history by launching the world’s first Arab* Drag Festival. ADIRA Drag Festival is an anti-orientalist drag and Arab*-pop music festival that celebrates all shapes and walks of drag. The festival stands as an engaged platform reflecting on the links between drag artforms and the popular cultures of/from the Arabic speaking region.
