Bit of Info about Swell:
With numerous books, CDs, performance, and video works to their individual credit, “cultural agitator and fab femme (NOW)” Anna Camilleri, “natural-born storyteller (Globe and Mail)” Ivan E. Coyote, and “musical genius (Xtra)” Lyndell Montgomery recently started talking about resurrecting the magical collaboration that Taste This was. For the premiere of So The Story Goes—an original interdisciplinary performance—they’ll be joined by Leslie Peters whose video works have screened internationally from Buenos Aries to Australia.
A lot has changed since Taste This exploded onto the cultural scene, but the issues that the early collective inhabited continue to be relevant—questions of gender, sexuality, desire, culture, class, rural versus city life, and kinship. Home stories. Queer tales. True, except when they’re not. Stories that swell and implode the spaces between cultural institutions and queer landscapes; between female and male; between tightly produced performance and kitchen table talk.
