Description

Las Vegas is a show based on the quote: "Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well."<p> In life, the question is not about having the right cards in your hand, but about playing a bad hand well.</p><p> Faced with racism, sexism, and homophobia, Dena manages to transform these painful events into positive experiences through her resilience and humor. She thus succeeds in turning hurtful remarks into iconic punchlines.</p><p> Being a lesbian and Iranian is still subversive in our society. Yet, today, more than ever, Dena makes it her greatest strength. If, in her first show, "Dena, Warrior Princess," she waged a war for freedom, in "Las Vegas," the comedian embarks on a pacifist quest. Through clever and precise sleight of hand, as well as nuanced observations, Dena even convinces her antagonists that they have more in common with her than ignorance might suggest.</p>
