The Film LUCKY STAR: superstar by Pioneers Go East Collective
premieres at The Exponential Festival 2021
Date: Thursday, January 21, 2021
LUCKY STAR: superstar is a queer dance-theatre film, part underground club inspired by the famed Club 57, part performance art installation. Borrowing superstardom fabulousness to celebrate queer bodies, the objectification, creative endurance, and pursuit of artistic fame, LUCKY STAR: superstar is trippy and irreverent, with performers cast as supernatural and alternate-universe superstar versions of themselves. A transmedia and creative wonderland, we create a fluid and interconnected queer space for supernatural experiences. In three episodes, performance artists Bree Breeden, Daniel Diaz, Anabella Lenzu bring their unique combination of cosmic and queer performance and intimate storytelling to the virtual space.
Featuring performance artists Anabella Lenzu (choreography/ devised writer - episode 1); Daniel Diaz (choreography/ writer - episode 2); Bree Breeden (choreography/ devised writer episode 3); cameo appearance by downtown icon and Stonewall witness Agosto Machado (narrator & writer). Cinematography by Jon Burklund. Direction & writer Gian Marco Riccardo Lo Forte. Production design & writer Philip Treviño. Choreography consultant Beth Graczyk. Sound design Ryan William Downey. Episode 1 includes cinematography by Todd Carroll.
