Raja Feather Kelly/TF3T
Chelsea Factory
October 8-10
JACK, and the feath3r theory presents UGLY Part 3: BLUE, the conclusion to Kelly’s opus on Queer Black subjectivity in the mainstream media. Conceived, directed, and performed by Kelly and Company, the trilogy began as a search for a metaphor to juxtapose Kelly’s identity as a Queer Black artist with his feeling of being an outsider to the mainstream Queer Black experience. The trilogy closes with Kelly bridging his highly personal journey to one that is both universal and Alien. In UGLY Part 3: BLUE, the Alien—and the audience—are completely distinct and able to examine the popular culture that has shaped them and from which they desire to be freed. In Kelly’s words, “We are all searching for ourselves; there are too many labels and not enough meaning.” Find out more here
