Destroyed Stage

Blacklips: Her Life, and Her Many, Many Deaths

by Marti Wilkerson Author

The queer underground of New York City was devastated during the AIDS crisis of the late 80's and early 90's. This gave rise to Blacklips Performance Cult, started by ANOHHI and join by a cabal of artists, drag performers, punks, students, and other random nightlife goers. Blacklips was an amazing theatrical collective that performed 20 original works between 1992 and 1995 at the Pyramid Club. This is the collectives history written in scripts, assembled ephemera, texts, and photographs.
