Drag Elektra, Iván Sánchez Pérez

It was third time lucky: Drag Elektra became the Drag Queen of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on the third try. She did it with the show entitled “It’s outrageous”, sponsored by MOW hotels, with a design by Nancy Henríquez González, and she achieved the prize exactly ten years after competing for the first time: her first attempt, in 2014, didn’t reach the classifying round, and in 2019 she got through the pre-selection.

The hum of the presentation of her fable in the classifying stage must have been convincing because even before her number began, the ovation made itself heard in the Belén María venue, to the extent that the other contenders chanted her alias right before the name of the 2024 Drag Queen was revealed. Days earlier, in the classifying stage, Elektra had won the special jury’s prize for the best costume design.
