DESCRIPTION | ARTIST BIO

John Waters is a man of many monikers: The Prince of Puke, The Duke of Dirt, The Sultan of Sleaze. Any way you put it, John Waters is famed the world over for his trash epics including “Pink Flamingos,” “Female Trouble,” “Polyester,” “Serial Mom,” “Cecil B. Demented” and “Hairspray.”

“False Negative” is Waters’ rapid-fire one-man spoken word Vaudevillean act that celebrates the film career and joyously appalling taste of the man William Burroughs once called “The Pope of Trash.” Updated and expanded from the original film version that enjoyed critical success at the Edinburgh, Toronto and Berlin Film Festivals, the live performance of “This Filthy World” focuses on Waters’ early negative artistic influences, including his fascination with true crime, exploitation films, fashion lunacy, the extremes of the art world, Catholicism, sexual deviancy and a love of reading.
