Original Playwright - Jean Genet

The madame and VIP clients of a kinky brothel take over the country -- or do they? "Again and again we allow ourselves to be seduced by glamorous larger-than-life erotic images - political, religious, cultural, and commercial 'stars.' The more we worship these, give over our emotional centers to them, the bigger they grow while we grow smaller and our power diminishes." J-CvI

Original Playwright - Jean Genet

controversial portrait of power and intimacy, The Balcony is set in an unnamed monarchy on the brink of a bloody revolution. But life is sweet at the Grand Balcony, a brothel and 'palace of illusions' where men come to indulge their secret fantasies. Inside, the Madame and her girls assist customers in play-acting a variety of roles: a judge inflicting punishment on a beautiful thief, a bishop dealing with a sinner, a general meditating on his relationship with his horse (played by a bridled actress). Fantasy and reality become intertwined when the exploding revolution claims the lives of the country's leaders and the Police Chief replaces them with their counterparts from the brothel
