Beyond the Ball - Aqueerius

Musical & Show

Toute la nuit we dance at the court of none other than Louis XIV. But let's be honest: the Sun King has written enough history, so he only has a meager supporting role in this libretto.

We present you Julie d'Aubigny, better known as Madame de Maupin – opera diva, duelist and rebel. This queen of coloraturas fights with her voice and sword against the suffocating social norms and classes of her time. And conquers the hearts of many men and women. This queer icon avant la lettre is claiming her place in history today.

Join us on ratgirl summer in Versailles. A true story that is so exciting that it will give you ruby red ears.

We go way beyond the ball!

The media about Beyond the Ball
“Beyond the ball is feel-good: the songs are danceable, the players radiate a lot of fun and the text is full of nods to the musical genre, queer culture and history. Yet Aqueerius also succeeds in building a critical bridge to current events.” (Theatekrant)
“A campy mini-musical that has the potential to become the hit of the summer festivals.” (de Volkskrant ★★★★)
“Tangling among the spectators, the indomitable bi-sexual energy of the players radiates.”
