Fringe Festival • April 13
Riot Acts
Dir: Madsen Minax
16:00 Hackney Picturehouse • USA: 72 min • 2009
………………………………………………………………………………………….
Riot Acts is a ‘trans-fabulous’ rockumentary representing the multi-dimensional lives of transgender and gender variant musicians. A first-hand perspective of the intersections between gender performance and stage performance, Riot Acts suggests that identities and bodies are undeniably political, and the journey within a trans experience isn’t always one of tragedy, but one of creativity and joy.
