Jonathan Drillet and Marlène Saldana’s new play is a daring gamble: a stage adaptation of Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls, a cult masterpiece of pop expressionism. Set in a shady strip joint, Showgirl recounts, with rage and poetry, the hopes of glory and harsh realities in an industry founded on the commodification of women’s bodies. With Rebeka Warrior’s music driving the story, this one-woman show recounts the highs and lows of the "girls," as they’re known, objects of fascination and scorn. At the intersection of burlesque and tragic, vulgarity and beauty, comedy and eccentricity, Showgirl explores hot-button issues in our iconoclastic society, while offering audiences a joyous and turbulent ride.
