Celebrating the Library’s recent acquisition of his archive, the infamous, elusive, and seminal counterculture figure Rumi Missabu returns to the Bruno Walter Auditorium 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.
