View theatre details
Someone is killing the heterosexuals! As dozens of brutal slayings engulf the city in panic, a young gay man rises to fame in underground rap clubs.

A follow-up to Tenderpits, AnimalParts’  ‘avant-garde autobiography‘, Revenge of the Popinjay is an experimental rap-horror show in which Anthony struggles to cope with the loss of his sister while uncovering a frightening link between himself, his lover, and an illusive gay rap star/serial killer targeting heterosexuals.

Revenge of the Popinjay combines storytelling, stand-up, physical theatre, performance art, and original live rap music to create a one-of-a-kind theatrical event. Popinjay satirizes the clichés of homophobic culture and questions the capacity for evil in all of us.

Quotation Mark

“This multimedia theater piece, conceived and produced by Canadian-American company AnimalParts, has already racked up some advance buzz thanks to the sexily disturbing music video for ‘Superman Glasses/Kill the Straights‘ by Popinjay. The queer shock rapper, played by AnimalParts’ Anthony Johnston, is just one of the characters in this show about a mourning man’s introspective journey in the wake of his sister’s death.”

“A risky and innovative multimedia show…Johnston is a virtuoso of the comedic moment… A great feat of theatre and performance art.”
