The dancing drag artist and Bollywood star Raj, known from the stage performance group Ful's beloved show Baba Karam – through Jamileh and Khordadian, is back!!! Welcome to Raj's antifascist dance show talk show showshow – a participatory, fabulous, queerilicious, and humorous performance featuring the Baba Karam legend king Raj and their friends.

Raj's antifascist dance show talk show showshow is a work created upon popular demand from fans and a standalone spin-off of Ful's immensely popular and constantly requested show Baba Karam – through Jamileh and Khordadian, which has taken Sweden and Europe by storm since 2021.

In Raj's antifascist dance show talk show showshow, you are warmly guided by entertainer Raj and the sidekicks Nasim Aghili and Baba Jam from Ful. Additionally, Raj invites extra fabulous mega-famous guest artists to each performance: stand-up comedians, actors, poets, dancers, and performance artists. The evening concludes with a dance floor curated by DJ Chamsex. This is a party you don’t want to miss!

Ful's new performance comes timely as a love declaration to freedom of expression, democracy, and solidarity during a polarizing and hate-promoting election summer. Since 2014, Ful has been creating election performances that highlight community and freedom in an increasingly fascist time. With Raj's show, Ful aims to celebrate and make queerness visible through a popular culture that rests on play and equality instead of nationalist, straight, and transphobic ideologies.

Artistic team: Rani Nair, Nasim Aghili, Malin Holgersson, Björn Karlsson
Raj's antifascist dance show talk show showshow is produced with support from the Cultural Council and the City of Gothenburg, in cooperation with the Embassy of Movement.

About Raj
Raj, one of the most popular characters from the original work, now gets their own show. Raj, portrayed by performer Rani Nair in Ful, is a host, program leader, legendary Bollywood dancer, entertainer, talk show host, and storyteller. They are inspired by their idols Sharuk Khan and Ranveer Singh. The character has been developed through the processes that Ful has had in its latest performing arts projects, where we have looked at, explored, and been inspired by freedom movements, dance as protest, and the diaspora's dance.
