Mx Justin Vivian Bond: Low Double Standards: An Entitlement Program February 17, 2012

“Artful, gender-bending, truth-telling illusionist...The greatest cabaret artist of [this] generation.” Hilton Als, The New Yorker

The ragingly multitalented Mx Justin Vivian Bond commands the REDCAT stage with a hilarious, heart-wrenching cabaret show with original music from the critically hailed debut recording Dendrophile, guileful covers of songs by Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, LCD Soundsystem, and others—and no small amount of biting political satire. Nominated for a Tony Award as one-half of Kiki and Herb Alive On Broadway, the artist, aka V, has toured with the avant-garde performance troupe Big Art Group, and appeared in John Cameron Mitchell’s sex romp Shortbus. V is also the author of the memoir Tango: My Childhood, Backwards and in High Heels and recently presented the solo exhibition The Fall of the House of Whimsy at Participant Inc. in New York City. Mx Justin Vivan Bond is accompanied by a live band featuring pianist Thomas Bartlett.
