Like Leon
Synopsis
»Polish performance artist Leon K. Dziemaszkiewicz creates art that many of his peers aspire to: it challenges, confuses, touches and enjoys a respectable accessibility. His own body, the playfulness and the perversion that comes with it dominate his provocative performances. Coupled with a wide range of human emotions – from sadness to frustration and aggression – Leon creates his own little cosmos with each show. A documentary about the magical-obscene world of an expressionist who strongly believes in art beyond the comfort zone.« {Kai Hermann}

Harris Glenn Milstead, aka Divine (1945-1988) was the ultimate outsider turned underground hero. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine succeeded in becoming an internationally recognized icon, recording artist, and character actor of stage and screen. Glenn went from the often-mocked, schoolyard fat kid to underdog royalty, standing up for millions of gay men and women, drag queens and punk rockers, and countless other socially ostracized misfits and freaks. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture.
