Estrella Xtravaganza is known for her participation in the second season of Drag Race España, where she won over audiences with her sharp humor, extravagant aesthetics, and impressive versatility as a performer. Originally from Jerez de la Frontera, this drag queen stands out not only for her live shows but also for her presence on social media, where she shares her creative vision and unique style that blends camp, pop, and kitsch.
Lily Polyester, on the other hand, is an iconic figure in the Catalan drag scene, particularly renowned for her performances filled with satire, glamour, and cultural references. Over the course of her career, she has participated in numerous artistic and cultural events, solidifying her status as one of the most beloved and respected drag queens in Barcelona.
Together, these two artists joined forces for the cinematic bingo, offering an unforgettable evening filled with laughter, style, and a deep passion for cinema. With their unique personalities, they transformed a simple game into a magical and entertaining experience, showcasing the power of drag as a form of cultural and artistic expression.

Those who managed to call "line" were rewarded with a Milka advent calendar, JBL headphones, and a one-year subscription to Filmin. Meanwhile, the lucky winners who called "bingo" took home the same advent calendar and Filmin subscription, plus a spa day for two—a prize that truly stood out.
A wide variety of movies appeared during the event, from Mean Girls to La La Land, with the hosts dancing, singing, and performing scenes from the featured films.
To wrap up, we bid farewell to RETEENA, which once again surprised us this year. This event stood out as an original proposal within the festival, reinforcing the creative and cultural spirit that defines RETEENA in every edition.
