Nath Ann Carrera: The Lesbianic Sounds Of Dusty Springfield
About This Event
At The Parkside Lounge, Nath Ann Carrera presents A Showgirl Turned Criminal, a nightclub‑theatre piece that treats glamour and transgression as aspects of a stage persona. The bill centers on Carrera's character work in dialogue with the music and image of Dusty Springfield — the 1960s British singer noted for her mezzo‑soprano voice and blue‑eyed soul — situating the performance within that stylistic lineage.
About The Lesbianic Sounds Of Dusty Springfield
Now at The Parkside Lounge, **The Lesbianic Sounds Of Dusty Springfield** frames Nath Ann Carrera’s nightclub-theatre piece **A Showgirl Turned Criminal** as a study in persona. Carrera works in close conversation with the recorded voice, image, and public mythology of **Dusty Springfield**, the 1960s British singer whose career carried coded queer resonance for many listeners. The show treats glamour and transgression as stagecraft, not confession, and asks what it means to borrow an icon to tell a new story. In New York, it reads as a small-scale archive performed live.
