LULU XX is a cross-media performance, devised by WaxFactory's co-founders Ivan Talijancic and Erika Latta.
Our production, inspired by German playwright Frank Wedekind's timeless female protagonist, challenges the idolatry and misogyny of the male gaze in artistic representation of women, exposing its conflicting tendencies. Inspired by the current momentum of feminist protest, we revisit the unapologetic heroine, asking new questions about agency, representation and violence in the contemporary world.

The world premiere of LULU XX will be presented at the Connelly Theater, September 18-28.

Performances will take place Wednesday and Thursdays @ 7.30pm; Fridays and Saturdays @ 7.30 & 10pm

Please note that Wednesday, September 18 is a preview performance ($15 with the the use of PRE-LUX discount code.) All remaining performances are priced $20.

FAQs

Should I purchase my ticket in advance online?

Please do! LULU XX is being presented for a limited run and seating is extremely limited. Furthermore, in an effort to get everyone in quickly with our small box office, purchasing online will make your check-in faster.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No! As a matter of fact, we encourage you to be green and not to print your ticket. Upon purchasing your ticket, you will automatically receive an email confirmation (do keep that!) and you can gain admission at the theater by giving the box office staff the name under which you made the booking. That's it!

Can I still purchase my ticket at the theater?

If you don't purchase your ticket online, and come directly to the box office on the night of the performance, we will be happy to sell you ticket(s) on the spot, provided that there are available seats left for that performance.

However, please note that we are a cashless box office: we can only accept credit/debit cards.

We encourage you to plan ahead :)

What happens is I am running late for the show? Is there late seating?

Our box office will monitor the check-ins, and may be able to slightly delay the performance past the published curtain times (see above) in the event that there are ticket buyers who have not checked-in yet. That said, in order to be fair to other audience members -- and the artists -- we are not likely to hold the house for more than a few minutes. PLEASE NOTE: Once the performance begins, we will not be able to accommodate any latecomers. LULU XX is an extremely intimate solo performance, and late seating would simply be too disruptive to the viewers and the performer.

While we are unable to issue refunds due to late arrival to the theater, we will make every effort to reschedule you for another performance, provided that there are seats still available at that time. If you arrive late, please feel free to make these arrangements with the box office staff, or contact WaxFactory via email.

What's the refund policy?

You can request a refund seven (7) days prior to your chosen performance dates.
