Mildred "Dréd" Gerestant is a Haitian-American, multi-spirited, performance-artist, actor, activist and gender-illusioning woman.
Inspired after seeing drag kings at an East Village party called "The Ball" in 1995, Mildred decided to do her thing.
Her shows are visually stimulating, thought-provoking, funky, fly, supernatural-high musical performances on gender-fluidity. Offering drag king performances; her one woMan theatre piece called "D.R.E.D.: Daring Reality Every Day - The Path of A Multi-Spirited, Haitian-American, Gender-Illusioning WoMan! - And Then Some!"
Using theatre, dance, humor, and cultural history, Dred plays with gender roles and social/racial stereotypes to inspire all audiences to think about race, gender, identites.
Her shows are not just about imitating the "opposite" sex, they are about freedom of self-expression and crossing/breaking boundaries. She inspires people to honor and accept the differences in their selves, and each other.
