Reality

From center stage, with a blue wig and gold eyes, Le Mado surveys her kingdom and announces, “You can be naked. Of course it is against the law to be naked. And the law is completely ignored. . . Like pot. We smoke wherever we want and nobody gives a shit. So, please: be naked.”

Le Mado on a huge screen hangs above the city. A banner on the horizon: gold blue glittery laughing Le Mado. “Did I just say that?” A playful little gasp. “Did I say that out loud?”

“I am allowed to say anything. Because I am not real. I am a drag queen. After the show I will go back into the valise.”
