John Waters returns to the Luckman with an all-new version of his solo stand-up performance. Waters’ joyously devious monologue celebrates his film career and obsessional tastes. A celebrated filmmaker, director, and writer, John Waters has built a reputation for shocking his audiences.
Legendary actress Isabella Rossellini returns to the Luckman stage for two evenings with her new one-woman show, Darwin’s Smile, which reconciles two worlds that are often at opposite ends: art and science. Reading Charles Darwin’s book “The Expression of Emotions on Man and Animals” revealed to her that the continuity between humans and animals can also be detected in the expression of emotions. Isabella explores how empathy, which is the base of acting, is also necessary for the studies of animal behavior (ethology).
A celebrated filmmaker, director and writer, John Waters has built a reputation for shocking his audiences. Many of the cult legend’s films satirize suburban America as well as many social conventions and attitudes. He started out making short experimental films in the 1960s, often using friends as actors and holding renegade, underground showings in offbeat locales. Roman Candles (1966), one of his early works, marked the first time Waters worked with Divine, the larger-than-life drag queen now synonymous with Waters’ body of work.
Iconic and prolific American film director, John Waters makes his Luckman debut with a new one-man show, This Filthy World: Dirtier and Filthier. Best known for Pink Flamingos, Hairspray, Serial Mom, Cry Baby, Waters’ unique cinematic style and humor has impressed audiences for over four decades. Don’t miss the Los Angeles premiere of this hilarious new creation!
