Founded on New Year's Eve, 1969 by George Harris, aka 'Hibiscus',
the Cockettes were a troupe of flamboyant hippy drag performers who
took San Francisco by storm. Over the next two and a half years
they created 20 outrageous and colourful shows (with titles like 'A
Crab on Uranus Means You're Loved') and several films, culminating
in an off-Broadway show that highlighted the cultural chasm at that
time between America's East and West coasts. In this documentary
tribute, ex-Cockettes and friends tell the story of those
LSD-fuelled, gender-bending party days, interspersed with footage
of the Cockettes in action and a commentary on the cultural impact
the pioneering performers had at the time and in the years that
followed, including the subsequent emergence of glam rock and the
influence on artists such as David Bowie.
