About

Recommended for ages 16 and up

They say: "We created a show about sexual assault, with all the humor we could muster. It's dark comedy, because we imagine the formation of an army of rapists at war, mass suicide by women to end the patriarchy, and lots of oral sex. So, don't hesitate to bring your guys, your boyfriends, your dads, your grandpas. Because today we laugh about it, but we cried a lot."

The Reine Blanche accompanied the Compagnie Le Rire d’Ariane during the 25–26 season as part of the Actée program.

    In the still-smoldering ruins of the catastrophe, a cabaret comes to life: that of "Le Mauvais Sort," where images and passions of the Western world are purged.
