John Waters – This Filthy World
Legendary filmmaker, writer and shock auteur supreme, John Waters makes his Australian debut with his devious one-man show. America’s royal raconteur and director of cult film classics such as Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, Cry Baby and Polyester, Waters is famous and infamous as ‘The Pope of Trash’.
In this rapid-fire comic monologue celebrating his joyously bad taste, Waters will regale with stories about his career from the Underground to Hollywood. Drawing on his childhood and early influences, with gay and hetero-flexible references and wry observations aplenty, Waters will divulge his innermost fascinations with true crime, exploitation films, fashion lunacy, and the extremes of the contemporary art world. Elevating trash culture to something sublime, this is a call to arms to all ‘followers of filth’.
Warning: Contains highly offensive language and adult themes. Recommended to people aged 18 years and older.
