Katrina Lenk, the acclaimed star of the rock opera Lovelace, visits Highways Performance as her alter-ego moxy phinx in The Wanting. Blending music, dance and theater, The Wanting showcases phinx's original songs and intense vocal performance, which has been described as a blend of Bjork, Marlene Dietrich and Prince. The show also features puppets, six dancers, and film projections. Learn More

More Information
<p>This is a must see weekend of new queer performance art work that crosses over all genders and sexual orientations in the largest sense of the word! </p>
<p>As a way to bring out and celebrate the sideshow freak in all of us, the performances in Juggling the Layers of Gender stand beside the transgender community as allies. This event promises to transform onstage and within each audience member as an incredibly rare and powerful opportunity to see a diverse range of fierce performers from the vast corners of identity all coming together to creatively examine how gender roles are experienced and, therefore ultimately, personified and performed by us all.</p>
