A performed filmic conversation on queer and black world making.
A bodiless treatise on narration, bored speakers, audience misbehaviour and police megaphones, but: is anybody listening?

For this day-long festival, sex workers and their allies from New York, the tri-state area, and Europe will gather at MoMA PS1 to debate, perform, dance, strategize & share knowledge.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.

Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
A crash-course in pre-figurative, radical, queer, anti-racist, anti-police, anti-prison, anti-deportation abolitionist politics and trans-resistance.
The mutability of the body and the mobility of identity: queered pop culture, drag, lip-sync and performance.
