Step into the fantasy at Club RAUM — where queer joy vogues with cultural resistance, and every moment is served with flavor, flair, and a whole lotta love. We’re starting the night family-style with sufra dining by the iconic Tabaria Café — a feast rooted in Palestinian heritage and fierce hospitality. Then the lights dim, the lashes go up, and the stage comes alive: Expect show-stopping drag by the divine Indie Nile (and more queens and kings), followed by a euphoric DJ set from the one and only AARO — spinning soundscapes to carry you from slow grind to full-body liberation. Come for the dinner, stay for the drama. Ballroom energy. Drag elegance. Radical joy.

Tabaria Café is a Palestinian cultural pop-up—a temporary event or space that appears for a limited time, often in unexpected locations, before disappearing. Our café is dedicated to helping Palestinians in exile reconnect with their roots and educating others about Palestinian heritage. Our mission is to create a space where we can all come together to honor Palestinian culture.

Award-winning theater maker and popular YouTuber Indie Nile blends the art form of drag & pop culture with politics & psychology. Indie is Palestinian/Lebanese. He grew up in Dubai and then trained as a filmmaker in New York before settling down in Amsterdam and starting a career as a drag performance artist. Before doing drag, Indie was an acclaimed documentary filmmaker, a skill he now uses in his YouTube video essays aimed at exposing Israel's propaganda.

Born in Egypt and based in Germany, Aaro’s path is one of dedication and profound passion for music. As a non-binary Egyptian DJ, music producer, performer and co-founder of @adhd_records, Aaro has been crafting their distinct space in the music world since 2011. Their DJ journey started in 2019 and it shows! Their sets blend techno, groove and trance into a sound that pushes the floor forward without letting up. Aaro’s production work is a showcase of their artistic breadth. Their latest single, “Skinny Human,” merges breakbeats with eery and soothing vocals, creating a compelling track that leaves listeners craving more.

Berat Bebek is a queer drag artist, actor, and creator from Türkiye, now based in Amsterdam building a life without borders. Moving beyond the norms set by society, they make space for complexity, contradiction, and radical joy. As a performer, organizer, and professional fat, Berat brings both softness and sharpness to the stage—whether through drag, theatre, or community-building. Their work is rooted in queer survival, diaspora, and the desire to feel free, even if just for a moment. A serotonin source and a glitter-fuelled rebel, Berat transforms pain into presence and performance into protest.
