Magdalena, Woman of Joy deals with dark themes with a startling sense of humour. As she herself tells us, Magdalena is a femme de joie (a woman of joy) and is able to navigate pain and suffering with a disarming optimism and grittiness. It is a story about loving yourself and a celebration of what it means to be a woman in the modern world. The show is a blend of drag, stand-up, clowning, physical theatre, traditional storytelling, and hilarious audience interaction.
