SEASON 14 ARCHIVE | September 2001
Annie Sprinkle’s Herstory of Porn
Presented by VORTEX in conjunction with Annie Sprinkles
The VORTEX presents the return of Annie Sprinkle’s Herstory
of Porn. This show played to sold-out houses in the summer of 1998
and now returns to the VORTEX for five final performances. This will
be Austin’s last chance to see Annie Sprinkle’s Herstory
of Porn live on stage as Annie prepares to retire this piece.
Join Dr. Sprinkle, who has just received her PhD in Human Sexuality,
as she explores the evolution of porn, combining theatre and film
for an amazing social-political chronicle of Annie Sprinkle’s
career including her work in feminist pornography. This work is
an important look at the controversial porn industry and its function
in society. Whether you love porn or hate porn, this piece is for
you--An important statement on our world and our sexuality.
Adults only. No one under 18 will be admitted. Annie’s previous
Austin engagements have all sold-out in advance. Don’t miss
out. Please note that the Thursday performance will be for women,
transgender, and men dressed as women only.
Annie is also pleased to announce the publication of her new book
Hardcore from the Heart: Pleasures, Profits and Politics of Sex
in Performance. The book is available at BookPeople where Annie
will be doing a book signing after hours on Monday, September 24.
"Her oeuvre is a fascinating testament to the sexual imagination,
and a
reminder of the creativity of the porn industry in the late ‘70s
. . ." --James Hannaham The Village Voice
"Like a master watchmaker, she has probed the ticking heart
of prudish America
and attempted to reset its time, to alter its bizarre climate
of contradictions." --James Oseland American Theatre
". . .The production is less a performance piece than an
evangelist’s call
for sexual healing, for the freeing of repressed desires . . ."
--Martin Hernandez LA Weekly
