Alien Sex @ The Queer Arts Festival
With event partner Genderfest
Tentacles wrestle the sexual status quo; secret identity exposes itself; and the Empire is challenged by authentic expression in a work that mixes whimsy, savage poetry, heartbreaking vulnerability and B-movie joy.
Get your alien on in this transdisciplinary evening for the Queer Arts Festival, featuring the work-in-progress presentation of Alien Sex. Come dressed in an outfit representing your planet of origin - prizes for the best-dressed queer aliens!
Actor/director and Alien Sex instigator David Bloom brings together a multi-genre, multi-generational team of QAF all-stars, including Vancouver genderqueer creators Olivia B (performance poet/tap dancer) and Floyd VB (performance poet/visual artist), propelled by the visceral life force of Taiko drummer Eileen Kage, composer/dancer/video artist Sammy Chien, actor/dancer/visual and performance artist Robert Leveroos, and actor/photo-based artist SD Holman.
Drawing upon energetic interpretations of the transgressive BDSM poet Linda Smukler/Samuel Ace and the divisive heterosexual playwright David Mamet, gay, lesbian, bi, queer, straight, vanilla, kinky and yet-to-be-named perspectives collide in a speculative fiction that fearlessly explores the strange, beautiful, and sometimes inexplicable territory of human sexuality.
