Sethlas: Once upon a time there was a Drag Queen who reigned in Santa Catalina Park

As well as his staging, dancing and impressive costume, he performed several pirouettes, surprisingly demanding for a drag artist in his high platform soles.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 2 March, 2020.— There were just two candidates still to present their routines at the great Drag Queen Gala in the Once Upon a Time Carnival. It was the final gala in the most highly attended festivities in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. This year, 2020, the worldwide audience was once again enthralled by the drag show… and the final was also being watched on stage by a devoted audience in Santa Catalina Park. The moment had come for Sethlas.

That was when Borja Casillas really entered into the role that has made him famous: as Sethlas, he put on a spectacular show, which drew several rounds of applause from the audience. As well as his staging, dancing and impressive costume, he performed several pirouettes, surprisingly demanding for a drag artist in his high platform soles. But he pulled it off to perfection, with his fantasy “Si la tentación es hermosa imagínate el pecado” (“If the temptation is beautiful, just imagine the sin”). Supported by an effective dance troupe, Sethlas ended to thunderous cheers from the crowd, the best possible endorsement.

The audience gave his show an enthusiastic reception, and the jury (Carnival experts, journalists... and the viewers themselves watching a gala broadcast worldwide) awarded Borja his second Carnival victory (he had already won in 2017). He will act once again as a symbol of the festivity (together with the Carnival Queen, Minerva Hernández), and is now part of the history of the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Carnival.
