QUEER AS FAUST
The Mystery of the Violated Vagina
The Mickee Faust Club is Tallahassee Florida’s tongue-in-cheek answer to a certain unctuous rodent living in Orlando. Fauskateers have formed a collective of artists that converge to write, direct and perform the raucous and wily cabarets; a mix of political and socio-sexual satire, literary and cinematic parodies, vaudeville, original and adapted songs. Christy has been writing, directing and performing with Mickee Faust Clubhouse since 2013 and proudly served as the Executive Producer for their 14th annual Queer As Faust Festival.
Shero
Written and Performed by Christy Rodriguez de Conte, "Shero: Femme Fatale" delves into the feminist struggle through the eyes of Shero/Heart: male Detective by day and a female avenger by night. When Villinulva, a steroid filled villain whose love for the feminine has turned her to violence, and her feline side kick pussy the puppet terrorizes the women of the city, Shero is forced to reflect upon her own methods heroism. This Lesbian Superhero comedy flips the comic book narrative, providing strong female characters and an even stronger exploration of power and gender.
The Mystery of the Violated Vagina takes place in a uterus just after the host body has been raped. External detectives investigate the “incident,” not wanting to call it a rape, while the host body deals with the real threat of insemination. This original musical straddles the lines of melodrama, absurdism, vaudevillian variety shows and late twentieth century television while dealing with the grey area of consent and the physical and emotional damage done deep inside many. The Mystery of the Violated Vagina scaffolds theatrical tools such as puppetry, music and an overall queer camp aesthetic in a comedic fashion to highlight the most absurd fact of all, that rape in fact exists at all and that most of the cases are rarely prosecuted.
