Jay Can’t Watch “The Holy Mountain”

Ya know how some films need to be seen to be believed? Screw that.

Jay loves watching and analyzing films from the 1970s, but also films from that era can be… a lot. Thus Alejandro Jodorowsky’s “The Holy Mountain” remains an un-watched, nay un-watchable film. To fix this, James is going to describe to them, and you, in as much detail as is reasonable every event, image, implication, and moral of this 1973 psychedelic art house cacophony while Jay sketches the scenes live as they envision them. A three hour evening in three “acts” audiences are invited to come and go as they please, patronize Tattooed Mom’s kitchen and bar, and even play along via the most high-brow game of telephone pictionary yet attempted by man. By the end of the evening Jay, and y’all, will have watched “The Holy Mountain”.

Without actually having to watch “The Holy Mountain”.

Ladies at a Gay Girl’s Bar // Philly Fringe — TWO Performances!

Don’t miss a unique queer solo show, here at TMoms for just 2 performances during Philly Fringe!

20th-century fem(me)/butch lesbian bars come to life in a solo dance/theatre performance. Maggie Cee explores her years as a teenage gay rights activist, her own identity, and fem history – illuminating the feminine women whose stories are too often forgotten, but whose strength and determination paved the way for LGBTQIA+ rights decades before Stonewall.

 

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH
TWO PERFORMANCES: 3PM & 6PM
NO COVER // FREE FUN
RSVP: FB EVENT | FRINGE ARTS

 

Called a “major highlight” of the Hartford Fringe Festival by Christopher Arnott, who said: “Ladies at a Gay Girl’s Bar: 1938-1969…sweetly explored the femme/butch dichotomy in lesbian bars over half a century ago. Cee is a graceful, down-to-earth performer who’s passionate about her subject…and tells it through dance, pre-recorded voices, oral histories, fictional characters and well-chosen music.”

 

Tattooed Mom will be serving tasty eats and ice cold drinks all evening.
Upstairs dining, bar access, and event entry is 21+ w/ valid ID.

Dummy at Tattooed Mom

NYC comedian Anders Lee is bringing his Edinburgh show to Philly for Fringe Festival!

FREE // 21+ // UPSTAIRS

Diagnosed at a young age with Autistic spectrum disorder, Anders dives headfirst into questions of education, diagnosis, social cues, and what it truly means to be dumb. Through jokes and stories, he reflects on his own experience growing up with the autism label, as well as the dark, eugenicist history of the diagnosis itself.

“Funny, heartwarming and thought-provoking”
