Sasha Velour announces Belfast and Dublin shows
Drag icon Sasha Velour is coming to Ireland.
The RuPaul's Drag Race winner will perform her new one-queen show, titled Travesty, to Belfast's Waterfront Hall on May 25 and Dublin's 3Olympia Theatre on May 26.
These dates fall in the midst of Velour's massive tour of Europe and U.K., following a three-week residency in Washington D.C.
Travesty will be Velour's third self-written touring production, following Smoke and Mirrors (2019-2022) and The Big Reveal (2023-2025).
The show is "part performance art, part history, part call to action" and will be comprised of lip syncs that capture "the cycle of resistance, existence, and camp," per a press release.
“Travesty is unlike any show I’ve created," Velour stated in a press release. "It is the purest, but also the most radical and experimental version of drag I’ve ever put on stage."
"People have been doing ‘drag’—dressing up, blurring gender, and telling stories—since the dawn of time. With Travesty, I wanted to honor those traditions, while exploring where we can go next.”
The show will feature sound design by Tony Award-nominated Palmer Hefferan. Costuming will be provided by Emmy-award winning Diego Montoya Studio, among others.
Tickets for Travesty will go on sale Friday, January 30 at 10am.
