About the inscenation
Velour is a drag queen, author, artist, and producer whose genre-defying drag has thrilled audiences on five continents. Widely known for winning the 9th season of RuPauls Drag Race, Velour is often hailed as “one of the world’s finest drag entertainers” (Attitude Magazine).
Travesty follows the queer life of a single spot throughout time — A witch burns in a field; a clown balances on a high wire; an underground gay bar rises up against the police. As Velour embodies different characters through a series of jaw-dropping lip-syncs, she invites you to take part in the cycle of existence, resistance, and camp that IS drag. Part performance art, part history, part call to action, Travesty will have you screaming at the top of your lungs, dancing in the aisles, and inspired to “change the muthaf*ckin’ world!”
