Bridge Markland (b. 1961) is a German performance artist who is best known for her virtuosity in gender role-play. She has been performing in various venues, including drag shows, since the early 1990s. Currently, she focuses on her “classic in the box” series, which comprises performance pieces based on well-known classical plays. In her one-woman shows, she combines text and music in innovative ways to challenge prevalent societal gender constructions. The interview took place via Skype on 12 August 2013.
