On stage, Blanket La Goulue does not just pass by: they take their place. An unavoidable figure of the Belgian drag scene, the cabaret artist dismantles the patriarchy with hijacked songs, summoning as much France Gall as Helmut Fritz to tell their story. That of a body outside the frame, of a voice in transformation, and of a being who invents themselves far from norms.
Under poignant confidences and scathing humor, Chauv·e transforms baldness into ornament and cabaret into a space of shared struggle. It is a political show, but without dogma, queer even in its contradictions, and profoundly restorative. One crosses the questions of non-binarity and heartbreak with lucidity. This one-person show is also their story, that of a bizarre person who has trouble finding their place.
This show is aimed at all those who doubt, who question, or who thought they had understood everything. A lucid and audacious show, which gathers where everything seems to divide.
In the framework of the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia.
