Grabbing Pussy
About the show
Celebrated performance artist Karen Finley offers a breathless cascade of poetry and prose that lays bare the psychosexual obsessions that have burst to the surface of today’s American politics.
In this alternately funny and disturbing staged reading/performance based on her new book, Finley explores the Shakespearean dynamics that arise when libidos and loyalties clash in the public and private personas of Donald Trump, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Anthony Weiner, Harvey Weinstein, and others. The aggression of intimacy, the disparity of gender, and the vital importance of hair are all expressed with Finley’s raucous candor. Standing in the tradition of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl, 'Grabbing Pussy' speaks to a world increasingly divided into predators and victims.
Please note that there is also a $20 food/drink minimum at all performances at this venue.
