Sasha Velour: TRAVESTY
Tuesday, 26 May 2026
About this event
Travesty will be the third touring production written and directed by Velour, following Smoke & Mirrors (2019-2022) and The Big Reveal (2023-2025).
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 spectacles, she invites you to take part in the cycle of existence, resistance, and camp that IS drag.
Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
