Unhung Hero :: Lazlo's subversive cabaret

Lazlo Pearlman, an American ex-pat transgender guy living and thriving in London’s performance scene, is not only a visionary, but he also pushes the edges of every envelope he gets stuffed into.

Fueled by his ruminations on gender, performance and language, Pearlman will present "Madame Pierre’s Other Tongue: A Surrealist Cabaret about Cunning Linguists."

Madame Pierre is your Cabaret chanteur/chanteuse host who will take you on a multi-lingual journey of discovery of sex and gender and the joys of other tongues.

"Why is the French cock feminine? The German moon masculine?" The subversive romp on the wild side is a 50-minute, one-man production that includes live singing and lip sync, physical theatre, multiple costumes and genderfuck from a queer cabaret/burlesque transman Pearlman’s point of view.

There will be a screening of Pearlman’s short film "Unhung Heroes," a transgender comedy about not having a dick.

9:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 19. Brattle Theater, 40 Brattle St. Harvard Square, Cambridge. $10. 617-288-8145 or http://www.thruthserum.org/.
