Queer New York International Arts Festival presents THE GOOD DAUGHTER by Max Steele.
The Good Daughter is a solo cabaret/music performance examining the relationship between queer identity, power, and gender. Max Steele utilizes pop music, punk rock, and performance art to reverse-engineer drag performance, performing songs written by women about female identity, and articulating a female voice against a culture of late-capitalist, globalist white-supremacist patriarchy. Between songs, he deconstructs his maleness, revealing the aggression in “fag art” as empty. His performance aims to exhaust the rage of being a gay person now, when history has already happened and the future seems foreclosed.
Max Steele is a performer and writer based in Brooklyn. He has presented work at the New Museum, Deitch Projects, BAM, Joe’s Pub, La MaMa, Envoy Enterprises, PPOW Gallery, The Afterglow Festival in Provincetown, and the Queens Museum of Art. He writes the psychedelic porno poetry zine Scorcher, and his writing has been featured in Dossier Journal, Spunk [arts] Magazine, East Village Boys, Birdsong, Vice and Best Gay Stories 2014. He was an Artist in Residence at BAX/Brooklyn Arts Exchange from 2012 to 2014.
