Rising Stars, Falling Stars – Hosted by Vaginal Davis – Two year anniversary!
Vaginal Davis, who came to Berlin from L.A. in 2007, has since then invited the audience each month to intimate silent movie evenings. On the anniversary, the drag performance star will dedicate the program, like at the opening, to the actress Louise Brooks. This time PRIX DE BEAUTÉ (Beauty Prize, 1930, Nov. 29) by Augusto Genina will be screened. It was shot as a silent movie and completed as a talkie. Louise Brooks plays the role of a typist who wins a beauty contest and becomes a celebrated actress. In the last scene of the movie, she is shot dead under her own movie image. Vaginal Davis will greet our piano player Eunice Martins to the screening of the silent version. Afterwards Miss Davis invites her audience to drinks in the Rote Foyer.
