John Waters: Devil's Advocate
Sep. 19, 2024 / 7:30 p.m. / Pickard Theater, Memorial Hall
Sponsored by the Kenneth V. Santagata Memorial Fund.
John Waters. Is he a cautionary contrarian, a reactionary radical, or a true devil’s advocate? In this all-new, fast-moving, part-confessional, part-inquisitional comic spoken word show, the filth elder known for his “transgressive” films and his “subversive” books salutes the new gender-guerilla generation of today for doing the impossible – actually making him nervous.
Together, he demands, we must form a new rainbow of rancid colors and seize back the sexual revolution from the self-righteousness of the left and the intolerance of the right. A new middle-of-the-road madness that uses humor as terrorism, wit as ammunition. John Waters – he’s the Devil’s Advocate and his questions must be answered.
Co-hosted by the Departments of Cinema Studies and Theater and Dance.
