La Maupin: The French Abomination
The Elevator Project
A tale of love and tragedy set in 17th century France but wrapped up in a high-octane Punk Rock meets Vanity Fair package.
La Maupin is a tale of love and tragedy set in 17th century France but wrapped up in a high-octane Punk Rock meets Vanity Fair package. Based on the true story of Julie D’Aubigny, the bisexual duelist and opera singer was famous for dueling men and wooing their women. Through a beautiful mix of sword fighting and dance, the show details her journey to find happiness as a queer woman way ahead of her time.
Content Warning: Mature adult themes, sexual content, simulated violence, frank depiction of suicidal ideation, and brief nudity.
