The Queer Cabaret Underground: LGBTQ+ Performance Art During Prohibition and Beyond in Europe and America
by Richard Fleischman
Step into the vibrant world of queer cabaret, a daring art form that illuminated the hidden lives of LGBTQ+ individuals during one of history's most repressive eras. In The Queer Cabaret Underground, Richard Fleischman traces the evolution of LGBTQ+ performance art from the underground venues of Prohibition-era America to the flourishing cabarets of post-war Europe.
This book is a must-read for enthusiasts of Broadway, theater, LGBTQ+ history, and cultural studies. Whether you're a student of the arts, a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, or simply curious about the intersections of identity and creativity, you will find a rich tapestry of stories that not only entertain but also educate.
Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, Fleischman reveals how queer artists defied societal norms, carved out safe spaces for self-expression, and used their artistry as a catalyst for activism. Each chapter uncovers the intersections of culture, identity, and resilience in the face of adversity, featuring iconic venues like Berlin's Eldorado and the bustling nightlife of Harlem.
Readers can expect to encounter vivid anecdotes that bring to life the daring performances, poignant struggles, and incredible triumphs of queer artists. The powerful legacy of these performers resonates throughout the narrative—reminding us that art can be both a celebration of identity and a revolutionary act.
Part of The Broadway Chronicles series, The Queer Cabaret Underground serves as both a tribute to the artistry of the past and a call to recognize the enduring spirit of LGBTQ+ expression. Join Fleischman on this captivating journey through history, and discover the legacy of queer cabaret that continues to inspire movements for acceptance and equality around the world—lingering in your memory long after the last page is turned.
