Annie Sprinkle's Herstory of Porn--Reel to Real
(SAN FRANCISCO)—The National Queer Arts Festival in collaboration with Theatre Rhino, presents Annie Sprinkle in her very own Herstory of Porn: Reel to Real, at Theatre Rhino, 2940 16th St, Wednesday–Thursday, June 20-21 at 8pm and Friday, June 22 at 7 pm and 9 pm. Admission is $25.
Get your popcorn as the legendary Annie Sprinkle traces her 25-year evolution through the Sexual Revolution in Herstory of Porn. Along the way, Ms. Sprinkle takes you to seven very different movie theaters—the Pink Pussy Cat Sinema, the New Age Sex Multiplex, the Museum of Modern Art, and Sappo's Film Co-op—where she will interact with clips from some of the two hundred movies she's made over the past quarter of a century. The evening reaches climax with Ms. Sprinklešs newest film, Teenage Mermaid Fanta-sea, interactive performance art-porn, which instructs the audience how to make their own sex movie.
This new work is directed by Emilio Cubeiro, who also originally directed Ms. Sprinklešs infamous hit, Post Porn Modernist. You don't have to like porn to love this show, which is really about personal growth, sex in society, and the human body. This performance is guaranteed to provoke thought, conversation, and laughgasms. Recommended for anyone interested in sex or filmmaking, and not for anyone offended by strong sexual content.
For the last quarter of a century, Annie Sprinkle has explored sexuality in all of its most glorious (and inglorious) forms. She has shared her findings through filmmaking, writing, photography, teaching workshops, and performing. Ms. Sprinkle was one of the first women to inspire the term "sex-positive feminist." Her unique work has achieved international praise and evoked controversy in both underground and mainstream art/theater worlds.
