DIFFERENT (1962) (Church of Film)

Alfredo is a dancer, and theater is his life! But he is troubled by forbidden impulses, forbidden desires that drive him deep into the belly of a beatnik jazz club, a den of iniquity where hepcats indulge in every vice imaginable. Can his stuffy family of straights pull him back from the brink of destruction? DIFFERENT is a truly remarkable and outstanding spectacle devised by Argentinian dancer Alfredo Alaria, an explicitly gay musical that somehow passed the censors in Franco’s Spain. Full of gorgeous, eye-popping set pieces and incredible dances, its eccentricities truly test the limits of absurdity and subversion.
