Happy Pride! ‘Tis the season for all things queer. At Nerdist, we’ve been covering some fabulous enteries into the world of queer art and performance. One of our favorite queer immersive theater shows, Life and Trust, closed unceremoniously before it could make it to its first Pride Month celebrations. But the performers that made Life and Trust so special are still working to create more queer experiences in the world. And what would a good Pride be without a little blasphemy? This Pride Month, we’re excited to check out Scripture & Sin, confess to a Drag Pastor, and watch a thrilling short that mixes queerness, religion, and murder.
Queer people have always had a complex relationship with religion. Historically, religion has not been kind to queer folk, so, of course, it’s up to us to reclaim the idea of it and maybe blaspheme just a little bit as we do. And this Pride, we can do exactly that at the Scripture & Sin: Confessions x Kid Prosper Pride event hosted by Confessions.NYC and One Man Army. “God can’t save you in this life.” Confessions, shares. But maybe a drag queen can.
So what can you expect at Scripture & Sin? Firstly, there will be a Confessions reading, which will whisper a fictionalized confession or two into your ear. And secondly, there will be a screening of Kid Prosper, a haunting new short film that explores guilt, grace, and the broken identities we hide from the world. An alternate synopsis of the movie, created by Aaron Dalla Villa, reveals, “After a closeted pastor receives a mysterious note threatening to expose him, he goes to brutal lengths to keep his secret hidden.” Sounds like the kind of intense Pride evening we can’t wait to experience. This will all be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers, moderated by the hosts of Confessions.
In addition to all of this excitement, Scripture & Sin will feature a special guest drag performer who will provide a one-of-a-kind confessional booth experience. Dalla Villa and co. share, “Our confession booth will also feature a DRAG priest that will DRAG yo ass (double entendre).” Honestly, that sounds like so much fun.
If you’d like to attend this event in NYC, you can snag tickets right here. The Scripture & Sin: Confessions x Kid Prosper Pride event will occur on June 22 at 8 pm. Tickets are $15 per person. Don’t miss this evening of scripture, sin, cinema…and something sacred in between.
