Tonight in Los Angeles: The world premiere of A Missionary Position at the REDCAT. It’s a one-man show by Ugandan-American artist Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine about the homophobia tearing through his country.
According to the write-up, the show “reveals Uganda’s LGBT community as seen through the eyes of a Ugandan government official, a transgender sex worker, a gay priest and a lesbian activist, and creates a complex investigation of the burgeoning resistance to state-supported oppression.”
Mwine has spent months documenting the movement for LGBT rights in Uganda with video, photography and drawing, and in the past he’s created other shows and collaborated on documentaries about the struggle.
