Flaunting Gender Deviance in Music Performance

RIOT ACTS is a transfabulous rockumentary representing the whole lives
of transgender and gender variant musicians, though a first-hand
perspective of the intersections between gender performance and stage
performance. This feature-length documentary highlights issues crucial
to interviewees such as songwriting, voice presentation, presenting a
body/bodies on stage, audiences, venues, the idea of the spectacle,
media representation, performing gender and notions about “drag,” and
the personal as political. The film culminates with the notions that
identities and bodies are undeniably political, and that the trans
experience isn’t always one of tragedy, but one of creativity and joy.
