Tadeusz von Moltke (NBC's THE BLACKLIST; DJ Khaled/Jay Z's video "I Got The Keys"; SAMSUNG/PUNCHDRUNK Virtual Reality Project) announces the premiere of "THE HOLLYWOOD ADRIANA: A Cautionary Tale of Damaged Good" at Dixon Place in the lounge (161A Chrystie Street, NYC), opening the 2018 Rainbows Across the Diaspora, The Queer Text Reading Series on Tuesday, January 23, 2018 at 7:30 PM. Admission is free - reservations HERE.
THE HOLLYWOOD ADRIANA, an experimental form of writing that Tadeusz von Moltke calls "Dimensional Fiction," is a poetic novella designed to be performed. A tragi-comedy in a kaleidoscope of styles - prose, poetry, screenplay, opera libretto - THE HOLLYWOOD ADRIANA is a modern-day story of obsession, sex, love, murder, innocence lost, and catharsis. Silent film, ballet, and opera all converge in a surreal world populated by the present-day protagonists, with surprise visits from Sarah Bernhardt, Ramon Novarro, Rosa Ponselle, Hector Berlioz, hustlers, drag queens, and altar boys.
In a stroke of curatorial genius, Phillip J. Ammonds has engaged brilliant and provocative artist/activist LINDA LABEIJA to share the programme with Tadeusz von Moltke, and present her most recent work.
A poetic and cultural journey curated by Phillip J. Ammonds (Trinity Rayn, The Drag Poet), RAINBOWS ACROSS THE DIASPORA is a thrice-yearly DIXON PLACE special event which explores the rich lives of the LGBTQ community and their literary works.
