The Be(a)st of Taylor Mac
|
Taylor Mac - Performance Artist
|
Description:
On the heels of a hugely
successful season at the 2006
Edinburgh Festival, legendary
New York performance artist
Taylor Mac has quickly
developed a loyal following in
the UK. A chameleon of words,
music and sociopolitical tirades,
Mac employs gender-bending
surrealism to explore the human
condition and challenge
contemporary culture. And he
plays the ukulele. In his sweet
yet powerful voice he sings of
world politics, gay politics, love,
doubt and fear.
‘His smart, funny, tragic
songs are life-affirming
in their universality,
yet delivered in such
an understated way
he’s on to the next
before you realise
the profundity of what
he’s said’ (The Scotsman).
‘Stark-raving fabulousness’
(Next Magazine).
