A BAROQUE FANTASIA
TEXT BY TED HUFFMAN
BASED ON THE FAGGOTS & THEIR FRIENDS BETWEEN REVOLUTIONS (1977) BY LARRY MITCHELL

"It’s been a long time since the last revolutions and the faggots and their friends are still not free." Larry Mitchell, The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions (1977)

Larry Mitchell’s The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions is a cult book published in 1977, which became unavailable and was reissued on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall riots because of its enduring relevance. A fantastic parable hiding a political manifesto, a radical vision of the evolution of the world through a queer lens: Faggots draws a revolutionary counter-utopia for all the oppressed, against a patriarchal model that is on its way out. From this colourful, amusingly irreverent work, full of joyful madness, Philip Venables* and Ted Huffman* have worked together once again – after 4.48 Psychosis (2016) and Denis and Katya (2019) – to create a playful, madcap and profound patchwork somewhere between an opera and a cabaret revue. The fifteen performers are in turn singers, actors, and instrumentalists. And they remind us that, yes, pleasure is on the side of the good.
