ABOUT THE SHOW:
Travesty traces the secret queer history of a single spot throughout time — A witch burns in a field; a clown builds a theater; an underground gay bar rises up against the police. As Velour embodies different characters through a series of jaw-dropping lip-syncs, she invites the audience to take part in the cycle of existence, resistance, and camp that IS drag.
