DESCRIPTION:(John Cameron Mitchell\, 2001\, USA\, 91 minutes)\n\n \n\nFree 
 admission!\n\n \n\nWith this trailblazing musical\, writer-director-star J
 ohn Cameron Mitchell and composer-lyricist Stephen Trask brought their sig
 nature creation from stage to screen for a movie as unclassifiable as its 
 protagonist. Raised a boy in East Berlin\, Hedwig (Mitchell) undergoes a t
 raumatic personal transformation in order to emigrate to the U.S.\, where 
 she reinvents herself as an “internationally ignored” but divinely tal
 ented rock diva\, characterized by Mitchell as inhabiting a “beautiful g
 ender of one.” The film tells Hedwig’s story through her music\, an ec
 lectic assortment of original punk anthems and power ballads by Trask\, ma
 tching them with a freewheeling cinematic mosaic of music-video fantasies\
 , animated interludes\, and moments of bracing emotional realism. A hard-c
 harging song cycle and a tender character study\, Hedwig and the Angry Inc
 h is a tribute to the transcendent power of rock and roll.\n\n \n\nCo-pres
 ented with Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. Event link here.\n\n \n\nMar
