Voyeur: The Windows of Toulouse-Lautrec

A live, site-specific theater piece created by Mara Lieberman for Bated Breath Theatre Company, Voyeur premiered last year and will conclude its long run at the end of July. Adapted from Lieberman’s pre-pandemic immersive play Unmaking Toulouse-Lautrec, the show offers sketches from the world of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the short-lived artist whose depictions of the Parisian demimonde in the late 19th century have helped shape our collective image of the period. Spectactors move through blocks of the Village wearing masks and observe staged vignettes at multiple locations, mostly outdoors. (The cast of 18 is larger than its audiences: Groups of eight spectators take the tour every half hour.) Click here to read a full account of the experience.
