Wilkerson Marti - Blacklips Her Life And Her Many Many Deaths - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: From June 1992 to March 1995, in the midst of the AIDS crisis in NYC an extraordinary theatrical collective emerged from the queer underground. Blacklips Performance Cult initiated by Anohni and joined by a cabal of fellow artists drag queens punks nightlife veterans and students performed a new play every Monday night at 1:00 a. m. at the Pyramid Club on 101 Avenue A. Blacklips never courted mainstream attention. However the group left a sustaining impression within New York's late night subculture by melding hysterical drag surreal horror and disconcerting tenderness. In Blacklips: Her Life and Her Many Many Deaths Anohni and coeditor Marti Wilkerson lay bare the collective's archives in photographs scripts and the assembled ephemera from more than one hundred and twenty original plays. Featuring images from newly digitized film and video recordings texts from participants and audience members and an introduction by Lia Gangitano this expansive collection introduces to the twenty - first century the short - lived and ruthlessly creative phenomenon that was Blacklips.
