Belle Reprieve (1991)

Este vídeo documenta a performance "Belle Reprieve". Ao colaborar com os lendários performers gay/drag Bloolips, Shaw e Weaver usam "A Streetcar Named Desire" (Um Bonde Chamado Desejo) de Tennessee Williams e as proporções míticas de Stanley e Blanche. Erótico e histérico, "Belle Reprieve" examina o sexo gay e lésbico dos anos 40 e presta homenagem a Williams, virando-o de ponta cabeça.
