Get your first look at VELOUR: A DRAG SPECTACULAR at the La Jolla Playhouse. In this clip, Sasha Velour sings the song “I am not a Woman, I’m a God.”
Created by groundbreaking drag artist Sasha Velour (Smoke & Mirrors, NightGowns, The Big Reveal Live Show) and legendary theater artist Moisés Kaufman (Here There Are Blueberries, The Laramie Project), Velour: A Drag Spectacular is a sweeping coming-of-age story interwoven with the radical history of drag and queer expression.
Inspired by Velour’s origin story as a genderfluid small-town kid turned global drag superstar, the show unfolds through a dazzling blend of innovative projection mapping, video animation, striking lip-sync performances and bold personal storytelling.
Known for her emotional and shocking performance art, Velour uses the power of drag spectacle to reveal her deepest fears (and joys) and put them on display to immerse audiences in a queer fantasy.
From the often confusing yet joyful search for belonging to the deep wells of grief that force us to face our inner truths, Velour: A Drag Spectacular is a tour de force, rich with humanity, beauty and most of all – DRAG.
