We go way beyond the ball!
Mesdames et Messieurs, bienvenue! Welcome to the sixteen eighties - the pink revolution of the French Baroque.
Toute la nuit we dance at the court of none other than Louis XIV. But let's be honest: the Sun King has made enough history, so for him only a paltry supporting role in this libretto.
We present to you Julie d'Aubigny, better known as Madame de Maupin - opera diva, duellist and rebel. This queen of colouratura fights with her voice and her sword against the stifling social norms and classes of her time. And conquers the hearts of many a man and woman. This queer icon avant la lettre claims her place in history today.
Join us on ratgirl summer in Versailles. A true story that is so exciting it will give you ruby red ears.
We go way beyond the ball!
ABOUT THE MAKERS
Collective Aqueerius, consisting of Charlotte Dommershausen, Seppe Salome and Jip Warmerdam, makes innovative queer electropop musicals, balancing on the campy waves between art and kitsch. Inspired by contemporary pop culture, science and an inexplicable fascination with history, they blend these elements into vibrant, new narrative forms and universes, breaking the (gender) norms of traditional theatre.
