Thu 12 July 2012 // 20:00
(Thursday 12th July / 7.30 pm / £5)
Beacons, Icons and Dykons is an playful ode to gay and queer cinema. A film is screened alongside performances, talks and a diverse range of entertainment inspired by the theme and heroes. From Dolly Parton to Kenneth Anger and John Waters, we’re honouring them one by one.
Performance will be followed by a screening of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH
Directed and staring John Cameron Mitchell (who brought us Shortbus),this outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious adaptation of the hit musical tells the story of Hedwig, born a boy named Hansel in East Berlin, who fell in love with an American G.I. and underwent a gender reassignment operation in order to marry him and flee to the West.
