Tightrope

Buddies in Bad Times Theatre presents The World Premiere of TIGHTROPE a high drag spectacle in memory of our forgotten Created and Performed by 2boys.tv (Stephen Lawson and Aaron Pollard) With Alexis O'Hara and Radwan Ghazi Moumneh MAY 26 - JUNE 3, 2011 | 10 SHOWS ONLY International cabaret sensations 2boys.tv embarked on a quest to confront their own relationship to a lost generation. Their journey led them to Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Mexico, to the unique but intertwined stories of individuals and cultures threatened by the suppression and revision of memory. At home, haunted by phantoms of a liberationist gay culture that vanished with the onset of the AIDS crisis and a generational amnesia surrounding this loss, 2boys.tv have created Tightrope, a poetic song-cycle, a collective act of remembering. Backed by a virtual choir of singers, musicians and drag queens, 2boys.tv summon the shadows, apparitions and voices of the past in a multi-media tribute to the forgotten. Join us for this audacious theatrical vigil for the disappeared.
