off to check this out tonight - Thursday 25 March 2010 - looking good. here's the write up from the site:

Enter the dark world of consumerism as three dynamic and vocal women struggle to create a sense of their own worth and identity from deep within the clutches of consumerism. With fearless performances of compelling choreography, this is a comedic flurry of dancetheatre, song and tightly wrought performance poetry.

“A wry comment on the pressures of being a woman in a high-achieving, consumerist society, the show lays bare the dark side of the quest for physical perfection with an honesty Naomi Wolf would be proud of.” FestMag

eh?

Seen over at Jezebel, article title: 'Does drinking Diet Coke make you a corporate puppet?'

I've just got to say...

I saw All The King's Men cabaret show last night and it was outstanding.

Side-splittingly funny, and perfect for that late night, stumble upon in a dark London theatre in the arches under Charing Cross type of night.

If you can - do try and get down tonight for just one hour at 10pm, it says a lot about what our festiavl is about, it's questioning, challenging but funny and fabulous and entertaining all at the same time. We call it gender-bending-queer-cabaret :)

Their blurb:

Their ever-changing show features a troupe of six prolific artists who collectively play between thirty and fifty gender bending characters per performance. Incorporating pop-cultural satire, dance, scene work, storytelling, socio-political commentary, burlesque, multi-media, comedy and drama, All The Kings Men seek to create unique experiences that excite, engage, educate and entertain.

It's what ya need.

Also they have a proper film made abut them, here's the trailer.

Coming to a film festival near you. Soon.

i get a bit lost at times, like when she looks like Amy Winehouse and Madonna combined with the bad lingerie to boot.

but it has aspects of brilliance, intelligence, magic. but I dunno, I always feel like Gaga + Akerlund always fall just wide of the mark. it's like two different concepts fighting. which may be the point.

i actually think i prefer the weird gun toting video of this tune tho.

hmm. she fascinates me.

the other night as i was walking through Charing Cross, one of those guys who fixes the Underground, after it closes, was loitering for the last tube and called after me "hey - Gaga!"
