You’re in for a treat! Ruby On The Nail, emblematic figure of the Parisian drag scene and finalist in season 3 of Drag Race France, returns to the limelight with an unclassifiable show that’s part musical, part theater, part drag show. Unfiltered, but always with great panache, Ruby On The Nail reveals herself in a show that’s both funny and moving about the quest for self, where poetry and the absurd merge for an explosion of emotions live at the Théâtre du Gymnase Marie-Bell in the 10th arrondissement. The script: Caught up in an interminable day in a deserted nail salon, the employees come face-to-face with their emotions, fears and desires. It’s scathing, and that’s what we like!
