GENET PORNO excerpts, in-progress in HERE's Culturemart Festival, Jan 29, 2013

News... back in rehearsals, stay tuned...

GENET PORNO is based on Jean Genet’s 1943 novel, Our Lady of the Flowers, and follows the loves and betrayals of a transvestite prostitute named Divine. Divine’s story is staged within the production of a present-day gay porn video, incorporating narrative elements from the confessional videoblog of a real-life porn star. Their stories merge in an "impossible ballet" as GENET PORNO explores our contemporary culture of narcissism and the consequences that result from blurring our public and private lives.
Directed by Yvan Greenberg and performed by Corey Dargel, Oleg Dubson, and William Smith.

GENET PORNO is being developed and produced as part of the HERE Artist Residency Program (HARP).
