Celebrating the Library's recent acquisition of his archive, the infamous, elusive, and seminal counterculture figure Rumi Missabu returns for an evening of pageantry, dance, film, music, and memories, including a gaggle of special guests, surprises, and the world premiere of The Last Days Of Pompeii, a new short dance and theatre attraction, conceived, directed, and narrated by Missabu.
Since his days as an original Cockette, San Francisco's gender-bending, psychedelic early 70s performance troupe, Rumi has continued to provoke and enchant audiences with legendary performances on stage and screen around the world. Help us commemorate a historic artistic career, moderated by NYU professor and noted drag historian Joe E. Jeffreys.
