Dionysian Worship in Queer California

On: Nov 14 2024 at: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
When: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for a fascinating talk that looks at the rites of Dionysus as employed in two Californian contexts: the first, a filmed act of sparagmos (the ritual rending apart of a sacrificial victim) in Los Angeles in Kenneth Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasuredome (1954); the second, a series of Bacchic revels enacted by Arthur Evans and his Faery Circle in San Francisco and its environs in the mid-1970s, which prefigured and inspired the Radical Faeries Movement that later became a fully-fledged queer spiritual pathway.
