In Canada, one woman takes on stereotypes as a drag king

Description

Melodie Rousseau is an actress by day, but at night, the 33-year-old Canadian makes herself up as a man and takes the stage at Montreal's cabaret halls as a drag king. Performing in drag is not only a means of artistic expression, it's a political statement by Rousseau and others looking to step out of the formidable shadow of the better-known drag queens.
