*She defied gender, class, and desire—and history never forgave her*
Inspired by the real-life exploits of Julie d’Aubigny, The Saint of Scandal resurrects a woman history tried—and failed—to tame.
A fearless performer, master duelist, and unapologetic lover of men and women, La Maupin shattered expectations in 17th-century France. She dressed as she pleased, loved boldly, and lived by her own rules—often at sword point. Her quick wit and undeniable charm famously helped her evade imprisonment—and even the gallows—more than once.
Blending sharp wit, theatrical storytelling, and historical rebellion, The Saint of Scandal is a fiery, intimate performance about identity, desire, and the cost of refusing to live quietly. Not a lecture—A vivid encounter with a woman who would not be erased.
Through humor, defiance, and vulnerability, the show celebrates self-determination and gender fluidity—asking who gets to write history, and who is punished for refusing its rules. Fast-moving, witty, and unapologetically human, The Saint of Scandal balances danger and delight—inviting audiences into a world where intelligence, audacity, and charm are acts of survival.
