Speakers
Stéphanie Slackhouse
Aunty Stéphanie SlackHouse, the youngest Queen in Hong Kong - she’s only 21 and has amazingly been doing drag for over 30 years - of course you wouldn’t know it to look at her ageless face. A sparkly pop-theatre princess, with a dirty dirty mouth that is used to sing, tell jokes and be shady. Don’t be too shady with her though cause she’s a lady…well a lady of the night!
David Cordina
David has been Alliance Française's Director of Studies since 2017 and manages AF's department of French language. Project manager of the Francophonie Festival.
