SUMMARY:Your Queen Presents: PETRUS
DESCRIPTION:In YOUR QUEEN PRESENTS: PETRUS\\, Catherine de&#x27\\; Medici
  herself unveils the wild true story behind Beauty and the Beast. Through

 pertrichosis who was taken to the French court during the 16th century. C
 reated and performed by Edu Díaz as Catherine de&#x27\\; Medici\\, the s
 how blends historical material with camp\\, absurdity\\, and contemporary
  performance language. YOUR QUEEN PRESENTS: PETRUS explores how power tra
 nsforms bodies into entertainment\\, how monsters are manufactured\\, and
  what remains human underneath performance. This presentation marks the n
 ext stage of PETRUS\\, a large-scale theatrical project inspired by the e
 xtraordinary story behind Beauty and the Beast. &quot\\;Díaz is an exube
