The Living End: An irresponsible drag tribute to Gregg Araki

Presented by Marla Darling. Hosted by Wolfgang X and Prince Peanutbutter.

“Dedicated to craig lee (1954-1991) and the hundreds of thousands who’ve died and the hundreds of thousands more who will die because of a big white house full of republican fuckheads.” 

Those are the words that come across the screen as the credits roll after The Living End directed by Gregg Araki. The Living End is an iconic voice in independent Queer cinema. 

As we honor those who have lost their lives to the AIDS crisis and the ongoing pandemic, the ongoing conflicts throughout the world and nationally, The Living End is an important film to remember. 

Gregg Araki not only directed The Living End, but also directed the newly restored The Doom Generation and Nowhere as part of Teen Apocalypse trilogy which starred James Duval. 

Gregg Araki, along with John Waters, is an important voice that deserves to be recognized in Queer cinema. 

Join Marla Darling and a cast of local favorites as they bring you a campy, fun, and beautiful tribute to an amazing storyteller as well as other favorite films in the Queer cinema genre.

Featuring a shoegaze, post punk soundtrack and performances to have you asking if reality is more twisted than dreams.
