Hello, I'm Berfusra '.

Berfusra is a Kurdish singer-songwriter​,​ poet​,​ drag king​,​ and performance artist from Turkey​,​ currently based in Berlin​,​ Germany. With a background in English Literature and a master’s degree in Cultural Studies and American Literature underway​,​ Berfusra brings academic rigor and emotional depth into their practice. As a genderfluid artist​,​ their work explores identity politics through a powerful blend of live vocals​,​ movement​,​ theatrical performance​,​ and poetry. Rooted in radical vulnerability and storytelling​,​ Berfusra’s performances address themes of race​,​ immigration​,​ queerness​,​ womanhood​,​ gender​,​ class​,​ love​,​ loss​,​ longing​,​ desire​,​ and complex trauma. Drawing on their own lived experiences​,​ they create spaces where openness becomes both a tool for survival and a catalyst for connection. Since relocating to Germany in 2023​,​ Berfusra has performed across multiple mediums and stages​,​ including SO36​,​ Festsaal Kreuzberg​,​ Ballhaus Prinzenallee​,​ Volksbühne​,​ and Aeden. They have been featured in events and festivals such as Proud Haram Festival (2024​,​ 2025)​,​ Garbicz Festival (2024)​,​ Gayhane (2025)​,​ and Blade Festival (2025)​,​ and have taken part in projects like König Drag Show (2023) and Dyke High: Magic Dyke* (2025). Through a deeply personal yet politically charged artistic lens​,​ Berfusra continues to challenge boundaries​,​ celebrate fluidity​,​ and give voice to untold stories.
