the red light district hasn't added a story.
LULU v.7 // aspects of a femme fatale is the red light district’s biggest project to date, a mainstage co-production with buddies in bad times theatre this may. after 4 years of R&D and several workshop presentations, we’re finishing our work on the LULU series with an ambitious, sexy, and surprisingly tender show.
LULU v.7 // aspects of a femme fatale is a re-working of frank wedekind’s 1894 play, created through a collaborative process involving over 100 toronto-based artists.
this project is a collaboration between writer susanna fournier, intervention artist helen yung, & director ted witzel. we’ve been working together to co-create this show through a process that has taken place across 3 countries and 4 years.
we aren’t just “doing the play.” we’re working with an extraordinary group of artists, both onstage and behind the scenes, to take on a controlled demolition of the play. it's a beautiful, complex piece of performance that asks: what is intimacy? in a progressive future, what is the relationship between art, pleasure and power? what happens between sex and death? what about between sex and art? between love and grief? and can there still be champagne?
we need your help to make this show happen. as we move toward the premiere, we’re asking for your support to help cross the finish line and bring this exciting work to life.
LULU is a manifesto. during this residency at buddies, we’ve had time to think hard about the kind of theatre we want to make. the show we’re building represents the kind of art we think the world needs right now. we’ve each worked around the world in different forms and styles, and this work is a coming-together of our skills and experiences. we’re proposing a new way of making, to create a new, invigorating kind of theatre. it’s radical and gentle, spectacular and intimate, sexy, surprising, and fun. theatre that aims to move you, provoke you, and playfully seduce you into an experience beyond spectating.
we’d be so grateful if you would consider joining the community supporting this production, and help us bring this collaborative work to the stage.
