Musée des Femmes is a titillating fusion of pan-ethnic dance, theatre, and vaudeville spectacle, in which beauty and torment square off in vignettes about legendary women. Mata Hari is a Dutch exotic dancer, executed in WWI under false allegations that she was a spy; Joan of Arc is found innocent years after she was burned at the stake for being a heretic (and perhaps for also being a transvestite). With its extravagant costumes and a home in the funky Zipper Factory, Musée des Femmes plumbs the psyche of historical and mythological dames, rendering them beings we can relate to: misunderstood, flawed, and human.
