XOXO returns to our absurdist roots!
Jean Genet's The Maids is a giddy trip through a fun house maze of power, class, identity and desire.
Solange and Claire are sisters. They work as maids for Madame, a glamorous and wealthy woman that they adore and despise in equal measure. When they find themselves alone in Madame's home, they enact a game, a ceremony of their own invention, in which they role play a revenge fantasy centered on becoming and destroying Madame, or maybe themselves.
The Maids is feverish and funny, a disorienting journey into the nightmare realm we create when we allow unsatisfied desire to curdle into madness. Audiences can expect XOXO's trademarks: bold physicality, wicked humor and a talent for making the familiar strange and the strange familiar.
Directed by Matt Cosper and featuring Jen Adams, Kadey Ballard and Kate McCracken, The Maids is a return to XOXO's absurdist roots. We hope you'll join us for a voyage into the hidden and forbidden realms of the human heart.
