Nico Elsker
Nico Elsker, also known as Nicolás Otero, is a Spanish drag king, performer, actor and animator. He studied interpretation at the Higher School of Dramatic Arts of Galicia. He began his drag work in 2014 with the theater company Marinita y sus Maromas and started performing as a drag king during his gender transition as a trans man. After his time in theater, he performed in local cabaret shows and musicals in Galicia, collaborating with Vigo-based drag performer Cristian de Samil. At that time, drag king culture had little visibility in Spain, so he built his work without local references.
In 2018 he competed in Noite Drag, a contest organized by Nós mesmas in Vigo. In 2019 he performed in Pontevedra in the drag show Marikas x la fiesta. On 14 July 2022 he performed at DT Espacio Escénico in Madrid in the show Cabaret Drag King, with Chile Güero, Hapi Hapi, Toñito Man Xao, Marcus Massalami and Aytor Menta. In August 2022 he presented Contos invertidos at the Gorrilla Theater. Since 2022 he has helped organize Vigo's Drag King Gala, a pioneering event in Spain. He is a transgender man.
