| Synopsis: | The red glitter nipples and lips are the least of it. Tottering around on high heels, Taylor Mac looks like a cross between the blind angel from Barbarella and a snakehaired Gorgon. He likes to think of his one-man pieces as plays, while others insist on calling them performance art - which, he says, is 'just a funny way of saying drag'. For this compilation show, jokily entitled The Be(a)st Of Taylor Mac, the flamboyant New Yorker interacts with the audience, does smart little monologues and accompanies himself on the ukulele as he sings a series of witty, sharply observed ditties about love, longing and lesbian romance novels with surprising authors. From time to time his voice leaps unexpectedly to a falsetto as his delivery speeds up to a dizzying gallop. The songs are part Marlene Dietrich, part Lou Reed, but the overall effect is unique.

| Synopsis: | The Lily's Revenge is part Noh play, part verse play, part vaudevillian theatric, part installation, part puppet theatre, and part dance, in a site-specific extravaganza. Using flowers as a metaphor for queer (meaning different, not specifically gay) communities, Taylor Mac, with six collaborating directors and an ensemble of more than 40 performers and musicians, tells the tale of a flower's quest to become a manin order to wed its beloved bride. As the flower's journey unfolds, it finds itself at the center of a revolution of flowers intent on destroying their oppressor, The God of Nostalgia. A radical experiment in "genre-squishing," The Lily's Revenge is a multidisciplinary pastiche exploring themes of homogenization of city, culture, and community, marriage and gay marriage agendas, and the role of theatre as a catalyst for action. - nytheatre.com | |||||

| Synopsis: | While stationed in Vietnam in 1968, Taylor Mac’s father, then a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, placed an advertisement in an Australian newspaper asking women ages 19-26 to write him. He was soon flooded with letters of response from hundreds of young ladies anxious to meet Lt. Mac while he took his leave in Sydney. Almost 30 years after his father’s death, Mac has unearthed these letters, which along with his own text, songs, and projections creates a conversation exploring patriarchy, war, romance, and fatherhood. Mac illustrates his Texan father’s military life in 1960s Vietnam as well as his own life as a New York City gender-bending performance artist, while striving to reconcile the differences between masculinity and femininity, past and present, and red and blue states. - nytheatre.com | |||||
