A unique online event about the history of poppers, presented by Fringe! Queer Film and Arts Fest
Twist. Snifffff. Hold. Release. Poppers floated into our world thanks to a handsome daddy doctor who noticed their effects on angina patients in 1867. This virile vapour has since wafted onto disco dancefloors and into a subculture of porn video supercuts, via the House of Commons.
Join writer Adam Zmith and special guest Dr Sharon Husbands (Naked Boys Reading) on a headrush tour of this history, via Zoom. Adam’s talk has been updated since its sell-out performance at Fringe! in November 2019.
Ticket holders will also get exclusive access to a short film featuring poppers: BATOR, directed by Grant Gulczynski and starring Luis Amália, 2020.
