Sasha Velour: Travesty

Internationally acclaimed drag icon Sasha Velour comes to Kitchener with her groundbreaking new theatre show, Travesty. Blending drag, performance art, history, and storytelling, Travesty traces the secret queer history of a single location across time. A witch burns in a field. A clown builds a theatre. An underground gay bar rises up against the police. Through a series of spectacular lip-sync performances, Velour embodies characters from different eras and explores the enduring cycles of existence, resistance, and camp that define drag. The result is a visually stunning and deeply moving theatrical experience that will have audiences cheering, dancing, and inspired to change the world. “Beyond its status as a top-tier drag show, it is point blank one of the most outstanding performances presently on stage.” BroadwayWorld “Travesty was not just a drag show; it was a queer séance, a visual rebellion, and a love letter to the ghosts history tried to erase.” Queerland Media Velour is celebrated for her distinctive fusion of lip-sync performance, video art, fashion, and storytelling. She won Season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race and is the founder and host of New York City’s legendary drag revue NightGowns. Her acclaimed solo theatre productions Smoke & Mirrors and The Big Reveal have toured around the world. A special guest star will join Velour onstage in each city as part of the performance. Runtime: Approximately 85 minutes with no intermission. VIP Upgrade: Includes access to a pre-show meet and greet with Sasha Velour and a commemorative VIP lanyard.
