Valentino (they/he) is a Berlin-based non-binary drag artist, actor, and writer who transforms into princes, vampires, and other fantastical beings. Their mixed Indonesian and Puerto Rican heritage deeply influences both their performances and writing.

A classically trained violinist since age 3, Valentino weaves his musical background into his multidisciplinary practice. They hold a BA in Theater, Spanish, and French from Wesleyan University.

In 2024, Valentino completed a residency with the Asian Performing Artists Lab and premiered their solo drag theater piece, Goat Sucker, at Berliner Ringtheater. They regularly host drag and performance events across Berlin and have performed internationally, including in Switzerland and Seattle.

This shapeshifter has more than a few tricks up their sleeve—whichever Valentino shows up, one thing's certain: it's going to be electric.
