Abstract

The mainstream success of the 2014 Broadway revival of John Cameron Mitchell’s Hedwig and the Angry Inch is in stark contrast to the precarity of the central protagonist’s life and the communities out of which the original Hedwig production emerged. While these tensions reveal some of the complicities between homonormativity, gentrification, and neoliberalism, by tracing Hedwig’s other genealogies, a more complicated vision of queer possibility emerges.

Resumen

El éxito de taquilla del remontaje en Broadway, en 2014, de Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Hedwig y la pulgada furiosa), de John Cameron Mitchell, se encuentra en claro contraste con la precariedad de la vida del protagonista central y de las comunidades de las que surgió la producción original de Hedwig. Mientras estas tensiones revelan algunas de las complicidades entre la homonormatividad, la gentrificación y el neoliberalismo, al seguir las otras genealogías de Hedwig, emerge una visión más complicada de posibilidad queer.

摘要

约翰.卡麦隆.米歇尔(John Cameron Mitchell)的百老汇歌舞秀“摇滚芭比”于2014年重返舞台的主要成功,与该剧原先製作所根据的核心主角的生活及其社群的不稳定性,形成强烈的对比。这些冲突揭露了同性恋常规、缙绅化与新自由主义之间的部分共谋关係的同时,追溯摇滚芭比的其他系谱,将浮现一个更复杂的酷儿可能性之想像。
