GAYLETTER

Presented by ‘the feath3r theory,’ and in part by Dance New Amsterdam, comes the world premiere of the performance ‘Andy Warhol’s DRELLA (I love you Faye Driscoll).’ It’s a “movement-based drag performance essay inspired by Andy Warhol’s alter ego ‘Drella’ — a contraction of Dracula and Cinderella, envisioned by Warhol Superstar Ondine.” I heard from François Leloup-Collet, who’s assisting the main coordinator of the event, artist Raja Feather Kelly, that he’s obsessed with Warhol and has been working on it for about a year now. This performance is mainly about Warhol but also about Raja’s “obsessions with self-worth, sexual identity, race, gender-bending, mind-fucking, consumer culture, celeb worship…” In other words a very pleasant Thursday night filled with drag, smashing vogue, cabaret and ballet.  —Abi
