What if you want to grow up, but also can't let go? From awkward coming-of-age moments to profound questions about the future, everything is covered in this solo theatre performance by Emily Salvia. And all in full drag and with a healthy dose of self-mockery. Relatable, raw, and sometimes a tad absurd. Perfect for anyone who feels young and has no idea where life is headed.
Emily Salvia Before I Turn 30... is a moving and hilarious drag cabaret performance by Emily Salvia, the alter ego of theatre maker Luuk van de Ven. In a mix of theatre, sketches, and music, Emily takes the audience on an intimate, compelling, and sometimes absurdly funny quest for adulthood, identity, and self-acceptance.
What starts as a lighthearted checklist of things you must have done "before you turn thirty" slowly unravels into a raw look at trauma, sexual violence, fear, and performance pressure.Form and style Before I Turn 30... balances between cabaret, performance, and drag show. Expect self-written music, personal stories, sharp observations, visual poetry, and plenty of humor.
