Transforma Theatre is Bringing MY MARLENE to HERE as Part of Their Winter SubletSeries
My Marlene is coming to HERE for a limited engagement as part of HERE’s Winter SubletSeries: Co-Op performing February 12 and 13 at 8.30pm.

My Marlene is a one woman show about a cross-dressing bisexual pioneer from Hollywood’s golden era: Marlene Dietrich. The play is an immersive and confessional theatre experience in which the audience is transformed into the battle-hardened soldiers that Marlene Dietrich entertained on the French Front during the closing years of World War II.

With imagery evoking German Expressionism and the dynamic days of the birth of Cinema, it tells the story of Marlene’s life and times. The period songs, with their acidic, cynical tone, characteristic of that Weimar Decadence, serve to highlight Marlene’s status as an erotic pioneer with her gender ambiguity. Interspersed with her songs, private letters and films, My Marlene seduces the audience while bombs fall all around
