HUSTLERS & EMPIRES<\/a> is a newly commissioned multichannel video work and live performance, that interweaves stories of three aging hustlers from different time periods who each find themselves pushed out of their own game and forced back to confront what their lives have become. Inspired by Iceberg Slim\u2019s Pimp (1967), Marguerite Duras\u2019s The Lover (1984), and Federico Fellini\u2019s Toby Dammit (1968), Handelman draws on these stories to re-contextualize these historical and literary characters through three legendary performers \u2014SHANNON FUNCHESS (LIGHT ASYLUM), JOHN KELLY (TIME NO LINE), VIVA RUIZ (THE CRYSTAL ARK) \u2014 in a queer, feminist framework, opening up questions of survival and belonging, intersecting with issues of race, class, and gender. This multichannel video work and live performance includes original songs written by Handelman\u2019s standout cast, commissioned specifically for this piece.<\/p>\n
