"An elusive example of early seventies mystical queer cinema, known mainly through bootlegged VHS copies and battered prints." - Steve Seid
A one-night only staging of a 'Nocturnal Dream Show' - Steven Arnold's infamous weekly midnight movie showcases held at San Francisco's 'Chinese Movie Theatre' in the 1970s which helped launch San Francisco's 'hippie acid freak drag queen troupe' The Cockettes into fame.
The evening's bill includes a screening of Steven Arnold's only film, 'Luminous Procuress', a selection of underground shorts from The Horse Hospital's archives and impromptu performances from special guests including the last chanteuse Anne Pigalle in a fantastical theatrical setting. A truly one-of-a-kind theatre-film extravaganza.

This event is part of The Horse Hospital’s Psychic Communities programme of exhibitions, performances, workshops and a reading group looking at community-forming mechanisms that operate beyond verbal and visual transmission through sensual, spiritual, embodied or tacit forms of connection. It runs throughout October & November 2019.
