WHO IS CLAUDE CAHUN? | REVIEW

Who is Claude Cahun?
Rating: ★★★★
Venue: Southwark Playhouse Borough, London
Cast: Rivkah Bunker, Amelia Armande, Ben Bela Böhm, Sharon Drain and Gethin Alderman

Born Lucy Schwob, a queer artist and writer, part of the surrealist movement in Paris in the 1930s, Claude Cahun struggled in their search for gender identity in the male dominated art world. From a Jewish family, they relocated to the island of Jersey, with their long-term partner, Marcel Moore (born Suzanne Malherbe).

When the island was occupied by the Nazis in 1940, the pair used guerrilla art to actively resist the occupying forces. Pursued by the Gestapo, their true story is a forgotten tale of courage, and determination to be true to personal identity.
