Elysian, Ancient Greek Ēlýsion (Ἠλύσιον)
derived from alyō (ἀλύω): to be deeply stirred from joy or exultation.
or, derived from alytōs (ἀλύτως): uncorrupted, undecaying, immortal, eternal.
or, perhaps, both.
Divine Madness presents: Elysian Dolls, a never-ending ecstasy of transsexualism, an insisting storm of gender terror, a non-exhaustive and troubling paradise, today and tomorrow. Archi invites a(nother) chorus of trans performers to continue an oral tradition bridging over christianity and its empires. The night grows longer, the cold sets in our home, and our anger has no limits.
Introducing:
Rodent as […]
Lust as […]
Die Lemma as […]
And Archi as Persephone, for after Summer must always come Fall.
