Lepage, Guillem and Maliphant to present Eonnagata at Sadler's Wells

The Stage: "The story recounts the life of Charles de Beaumont, a member of French King Louis XV’s spy network, the King’s Secret, whose true gender was a constant source of speculation right up to his death. Lepage, Guillem and Maliphant will draw on the ancient Kabuki technique of onnagata, in which male actors portray female roles in an stylised fashion. The production will receive its world premiere in February."
