The Maids | Last show this Saturday, 6th June

French artist Jean Genet’s 20th century work will be reinvigorated with this vibrant and original showcase of West Australian women artists, including an original sound design by Felicity Groom - winner, 2008 WA Top Song Competition for Triple J Unearthed.

Every night reality blurs with fantasy as Claire and Solange take turns pretending to be their mistress in a crazed ritual, fantasizing the murder of Madame.

With its evocative language, The Maids is a harrowing tale about the rituals of extravagance and the horrors of poverty, the agony of exclusion and the ecstasy of imagination.
