The format is type coffee concert, where the audience participates, there is improvisation, live music and lots of humor during the day.
The evening is developed as a television program live where three connoted poets transvestites gather to talk about their latest literary works. Surrounded by books, souvenirs and poems laugh absolutely everything, because that is what its freshness: the pride of who they are regardless of what others think. The poetry recited during the evening belongs to León de Greiff, Sussy Shock, Alfonsina Storni and Germán Stieches.
