Maude Davey presents My Life in the Nude
A retrospective of Maude Davey's (nude) body of work
After taking her clothes off in public for 30 years, performance artist Maude Davey has decided it's time for less make-up and more clothes. A celebration of her body of work, My Life in the Nude is a revealing cabaret confession and a retrospective in which she bares all for the very last time.
As one of the core members of the genre-busting The Burlesque Hour, Maude Davey helped set the standard for edgy, political, provocative and sexy salon cabaret. Her performances - clothed or not - are remarkable for their wit, intelligence and for their capacity to evoke profound emotional responses.
