The True History of the Tragic Life & Triumphant Death of Julia Pastrana
Amphibian Stage Revisits a Tale of Human Rights in an Innovative Auditory Experience
Originally performed entirely in the dark, Julia Pastrana is the powerful tale of a woman made famous as “The Ugliest Woman in the World.” Audiences are transported into the immersive soundscape of Julia’s world of traveling circuses and sideshow phenomena. Dragged across oceans by her husband, the circus ringleader, Julia searches wherever she goes for the love and beauty she believes life has in store for her. Julia Pastrana, based on a true story, shows us the face of real beauty, without ever letting us see a thing. Our 2012 production of this play was called “must-feel theatre” that created a transportive theatre experience unlike any other. Now, as we bring this dynamic play out of the theatre and into your home, we ask that you turn out the lights, turn up your headphones and prepare yourself for an immersive listening encounter with the “Ugliest Woman in the World."
