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.
