Sasha Velour: Travesty
Travesty traces the secret queer history of a single spot throughout time — A witch burns in a field; a clown builds a theater; an underground gay bar rises up against the police. As Velour embodies different characters through a series of jaw-dropping lip-syncs, she invites you to take part in the cycle of existence, resistance and camp that IS drag. Part performance art, part history, part call to action, Travesty will have you screaming at the top of your lungs, dancing in the aisles and inspired to “change the muthaf*ckin’ world!”
“Beyond its status as a top-tier drag show, it is point blank one of the most outstanding performances presently on stage.” – BroadwayWorld
“‘Travesty’ was not just a drag show, it was a queer seance, a visual rebellion, and a love letter to the ghosts history tried to erase.” – Queerland Media
Velour is known for her unique fusion of lip sync performance, video art, and storytelling. She is the winner of Season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race (2017), the founder and host of New York City’s legendary drag revue NightGowns (since 2015) and has toured two celebrated one-queen theater shows around the world—Smoke & Mirrors (2019-2022), and The Big Reveal (2023-2025).
