From Prussia with love A German opera/new wave singer leads a queer one-two punch

by Anthony Glassman

There are few people who can out-weird David Bowie.

From Ziggy Stardust through the Thin White Duke, Bowie had more faces than Sybil. However, when he took the stage for Saturday Night Live in 1979, he was joined by two back-up singers: now-famous drag queen Joey Arias and an enigmatic, artificially created German named Klaus Nomi.

TLA RELEASING

Born Klaus Sperber in 1944, Nomi relocated to New York City, where his bizarre fashion sense and counter-tenor voice led to fame in the New Wave underground of the era, when punk and disco were both marrying and dying.

Unfortunately, before the "perfect video star" could make it big on MTV, he gained notoriety of a different sort: In 1983, he became one of the first openly gay stars to die of complications from AIDS.

Now filmmaker Andrew Horn has collected footage, pictures and interviews to paint a portrait of the man behind the shiny outfits and mime-like makeup, the one who shoved opera down the throats of dance club patrons and made them like it.

day, April 30 at 9:30 pm.

Pedro must now fight to keep the child he never wanted but has grown to love, as well as earn the respect of his own distant mother who has come rampaging back into his life.

Bear Cub is sometimes naughty. People touch each other inappropriately, so nobody under 18 is allowed in.

The Nomi Song

screens on Thursday, April 28 at 9:05 pm and Sunday, May 1 8:50 pm. Bear Cub will be shown on Friday, April 29 at 7:30 pm and Satur-
