Film Details

Art world mixed-media performance artist and provocateur Narcissister, who wears a mask and a merkin while exploring gender, racial identity, and sexuality, makes her movie directorial debut with this new documentary. After public appearances with Marilyn Manson, collaborations with Marina Abramović, and a stint on America’s Got Talent, the enigmatic artist deconstructs her celebrated stage shows which combine dance, elaborate costumes, pop music, unabashed eroticism, and humor. The doc takes a peek behind Narcissister’s iconic mask—revealing her experience growing up and feeling ostracized in blonde-haired, blue-eyed Southern California as the child of a Sephardic Jewish mother and an African-American father. No one under 18 admitted! DCP. 91 min.
