A screening with/by Bill Dietz
Wednesday, October 5, 2016 // 7:30pm // ACUD Studio
Undisputed dark queen of vocality, Diamanda Galás is a living legend. Her more than 40 year career spans experimental music, AIDS activism, and tangential forays into something like popular culture. From her music videos (including MTV’s “most offensive video of 1988”), excepts from her 1993 VHS Judgement Day, music from soundtracks (e.g. Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers) and appearances in films (Rosa von Praunheim’s 1990 Positive), through various live recordings, and finally her 1998 book The Shit of God, the evening traces Galás’ conception of “voice as composition.”
