Lost in Trans

Lost in Trans sees drag fabulist, performance
phenomenon and gender disillusionist Dickie Beau continue his experiments with
found sound, breathing new life into old audio and re-visioning the drag
tradition of lip synching. Continuing his shtick of using playback to
'channel' voices he sees as misplaced, misrepresented or misunderstood, Dickie
're-writes' audio artefacts, playing them back through his body to become a
performing archive of the missing. Lost in Trans weaves a compelling web of words and images drawn from
sources as varied as the film Paris is Burning and an audio love letter from
the 1960’s found on the floor of a commuter train in New Hampshire,
culminating in an unorthodox revisioning of Echo, the Nymph who died of a broken
heart and left only the sound of her voice behind.

talent... a powerful and moving artist… breath-taking.”
