McQueen & co
A masterpiece of dance theatre, Eonnagata is set during the time of King Louis XV and tells the story of the Chevalier d'Éon, Charles de Beaumont - diplomat, writer, swordsman and the first spy to use transvestitism. The play also references the ancient Kabuki technique of Onnegata - in which male actors portray female roles in an extremely stylised fashion. Rounding off this creative collaboration are costumes by the late Alexander McQueen, and lighting pioneer Michael Hulls.
