THE LOST PRIVILEGE COMPANY
Brian Getnick, Arne Gjelten, and Tim Reid continue their lengthy rehearsal process responding to Cassavetes’ famous film Husbands, thinking about desire, transgression and violence, permeability of bodies, privilege, rank, and loss. We presented an exploration of this work with LA Freewaves in 2022.
Gawdafful’s six new films and live performance at The Lab, San Francisco
During the pandemic, we made six short films inspired by psychiatric films of the 1960s to explore the nuanced and shifting relationships we have to our own suppressed violence. We then ate the corpse of our mega-play, The Dope Elf, in a live performance, “Organized Around The Erotics of Doing You In,” performed at The Lab for three nights in 2021.
Gawdafful is thrilled to present six new films and a live production supported through the generosity of The Lab in San Francisco. Click here and here to find out more. Pictured above are Jacqueline Wright as The Dope Elf and Adrian Cruz as Alan. Photography by Ian Byers-Gamber.
