Your Queen Presents: PETRUS

Before Beauty and the Beast, there was Petrus. In YOUR QUEEN PRESENTS: PETRUS, award-winning theatermaker Edu Díaz unleashes Queen Catherine de’ Medici to recount the wild true story of Petrus Gonsalvus, a Canary Islander taken to the French court and transformed into a Renaissance spectacle. Blending drag, clown, shadow puppetry, and handmade theatrical magic, this darkly comic solo asks: Who was the real Beast? Presented at the United Palace’s spectacular Grand Foyer in a double bill with Adrián Miranda’s UPTOWN BOOKS. One night, two bold Uptown stories.
