Heavens What Have I Done

Mousonturm Studio 1

Performance/Dance

“This whole piece is super ‘80s.” is the clear statement made by US-American choreographer and performer Miguel Gutierrez. The towering Marie-Antoinette wig, the centimetre-thick make-up and the deep cut dress made of LGBTQ flags paints the perfect picture of a Rococo drag queen. But all the pomp and glitter shouldn’t call into question the seriousness of Gutierrez’s subject matter: the ascent to artistic success, the hypocrisy of a fickle world, harsh critique, personal dreams and hopes. Filled to the brim with shrill melancholy, Gutierrez flirts with his audience and enchants it with intimacy and primadonna rapture.
