Water’s rapid-fire, one-man, spoken word
“vaudeville” act celebrates the film career
and joyously appalling taste of the man William Burroughs once called “The
Pope of Trash.” It is updated and expanded from the original film version that
enjoyed critical success at the Edinburgh, Toronto, and Berlin Film Festivals. This
performance focuses on Waters’ early negative artistic influences; his fascination
with true crime, exploitation films, fashion lunacy, the extremes of the art world,
Catholicism and sexual deviancy; and a love of reading.
