SUMMARY:Perfume Genius ‘Glory Tour’
DESCRIPTION:Hadreas\, a Seattle native\, began his music career in 2008 and released his debut album\, Learning\, in 2010 via long-time label home Matador. The album immediately captured critics’ attention\, with Pitchfork praising its “eviscerating and naked” songs\, marked by “heartbreaking sentiments and bruised characterizations delivered in a voice that ranges from an ethereal croon to a slightly cracked warble.” These descriptors became the hallmarks of Perfume Genius – Hadreas’ unique ability to convey emotional vulnerability not only lyrically\, but with his impressively nuanced vocals.

SUMMARY:Siskel Film Center: Grey Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 5\, 6:00 p.m. & Sunday\, June 15\, 2:00 p.m. | In Slate\, J. Bryan Lowder wrote what makes the documentary GREY GARDENS in part a camp classic\, and “one of the most prominent and oft-cited entries in the canon of gay culture\,” is that Big Edie and Little Edie Beale\, the reclusive cousins of Jackie Onassis\, are intimately captured\, in their deteriorating house in East Hampton\, without an ounce of judgement. “The filmmakers simply allow them to be\,” Lowder writes. That uninhibited freedom is\, as Sontag writes\, a hallmark of camp: “a proper mixture of the exaggerated\, the fantastic\, the passionate and the naive.”
