In a project emerged from many trips across the United States, Fabio Cherstich – director and set designer for the theatre widely acclaimed for his ability to blend different artistic vocabularies – rediscovers forgotten stories of New York’s 1980s queer scene. The exceptional lives of the three underground artists Patrick Angus, Larry Stanton and Darrell Ellis are narrated through a blend of performance, exhibition, and conversation with the audience. An archive of mostly unpublished material brings to light the key locations of the queer scene of the time, the fears provoked by the first AIDS-related deaths and the thoughts of a community. The work is presented in the historical venue of CRT Centro di Ricerca per il Teatro, at the 50th anniversary of its foundation.
