From hip performance spaces in New York and Los Angeles to the
heart of Middle America, the last twenty years have seen a rich
proliferation of gay and lesbian performance art In O Solo Homo,
Holly Hughes, the First Lady of queer performance, and theater
critic and professor David Roman have brought together the best
solo work from some of the most acclaimed and influential artists
in the field.
The pieces in O Solo Homo touch nerves that run deep -- racism
and misogyny, AIDS and breast cancer, the struggles and joys of
family and the complicated transcendence of desire. Peggy Shaw, of
the Obie Award-winning trio Split Britches, looks at butch/femme
identity and describes how she learned to be a man. The acclaimed
author, performer, and "gender outlaw" Kate Bornstein takes apart
gender, from the street to the bedroom to Geraldo. The late Ron
Vawter, of the Wooster Group, conjures two very different men who
died of AIDS: diva filmmaker Jack Smith and Nixon crony Roy Cohn.
And Carmelita Tropicana, the "national songbird of Cuba", makes an
unforgettable, hilarious return to Havana. O Solo Homo will move
and provoke you, make you laugh, and make you think.
