Fresh off their widely acclaimed, two Obie Award–winning off-Broadway debut Can I Be Frank?—about the work of queer comedian, musician, and performance artist Frank Maya—Morgan Bassichis will share preliminary reflections on performance as a mode of necromancy. Through neurotic stand-up comedy, haunting music, and historical digression, Bassichis reinterprets the legacies of queer and Jewish artists and activists—first with Larry Mitchell’s cult 1977 text, The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions, currently with the work of Frank Maya, who died of AIDS-related complications in 1995, and next with the Amy Winehouse songbook. These works live at the edges of stand-up and séance and oral history, inviting audiences to expand their collective memory.
Shuttle service will be available from the Aspen Art Museum.
