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 more than enough history, so he gets only a meagre supporting role in this libretto.

We present to you Julie d’Aubigny, better known as Madame de Maupin – opera diva, duellist and rebel. This queen of coloratura fights with voice and sword alike against the stifling social norms and classes of her time. And she conquers the hearts of many a man and woman. This queer icon avant la lettre is claiming her place in history today.

Join us for a ratgirl summer in Versailles. A true story so thrilling it will make your ears turn ruby red.

We go way beyond the ball!

“A campy mini-musical with the potential to become the hit of the summer festivals.” (de Volkskrant ★★★★)
“Snogging among the audience, the performers ooze untameable bisexual energy.” (de Volkskrant ★★★★)
