Chris (79) used to be a councilor, now he steals the show as a drag queen: ‘Only nice reactions!’ | The best stories from Rotterdam and the surrounding area

In a room full of elderly people playing keyboards, count the number of people with the same passion as Chris Zijdeveld (79) and you will soon be done. He has a hobby that is striking, especially for his generation. Until recently, Chris saved his spicy performances for the kinky scene he has been involved in for decades. Now he appears – as a woman – in red patent leather in public with his belly dancing shows.
