Une Femme Simple - 26/11

Une Femme Simple is a stand-up cabaret show. Lapop Lexomil confides in the audience about her life as the queen of the faggots: cegidd, the communism of orgies, sex work, gentrification and bobofication, chemsex, gender, Grindr, loneliness… in a vulgar and poetic language, Lapop shares her reflections accompanied by her pianist Antoine with whom she extracts musical notes from nothingness to perform songs from a popular and underground repertoire to beat down the gloom.

Lapop Lexomil has a theory: "You have to be crazy yourself to survive in this world of lunatics." Having crisscrossed France for so long, performing her shows, vacationing, or basking in the sun while unemployed, she's noticed a similar glint in the eyes of those who resemble her. Not necessarily physically, but somewhere deep in their souls. When you look into it, not with a colonoscopy camera, but with your intuition. It's a common thing that reeks of carrion, born of shame and self-loathing, and if you don't purge yourself of this rotten thing, you risk living in lies and resentment. So the tragic punk bimbo dons her gravedigger's outfit: foundation, nails, wig, false eyelashes, 15cm heels, a slutty outfit, exposed girdle, rhinestones, bad taste, and glamour. It's time to dig up the corpses, to unload the weight that crushes us daily. In the form of stand-up cabaret, accompanied by a piano, she recounts her life in all its extravagance, bringing noise to a world that would prefer a deadly silence, the kind that slowly kills the misfits.

Here, we don't apologize, we demand. Here, we don't whine, we cry our hearts out and shout songs from the depths of our being. Here, we don't mince words, we laugh heartily, our throats wide open to release stress and let the sunshine in.
