16 Photos of a Down Syndrome Drag Troupe

Drag Syndrome is the first drag troupe consisting of people with Down syndrome. Daniel Vais, the troupe’s creator and director, told ITV.com, "I think it's new for contemporary culture to include people with learning disabilities in avant-garde culture or in high culture — or in high fashion. It's quite new to everyone, but from what I see — it works really well, really, really well, actually."
