Tinea Tricolore: The Love Fungus

Tom Tenney — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 22:02:30 +0000

“Tinea Tricolore: The Love Fungus” was the third production in the infamous “Grindhouse-A-Go-Go!” series, a late night performance/party that was held at midnight at Surf Reality in NYC’s Lower East Side in the late 90’s-early 00’s. This show, performed in October of 1999, was by far the dirtiest (in terms of outright nudity) and probably our most political as well. Rudolph Giuliani was still mayor, and the show satires his campaign to “clean up New York” by shutting down strip clubs and replacing them with Disney stores, Banana Republics, K-Marts and Starbucks. Other issues of the day that make an appearance are: the toilet-plunger sodomy by the NYPD, the killing of Amadou Diallo (an unarmed man shot 41 times by police bullets), enforcement of NYC’s archaic cabaret laws and the gradual “whitening” of the city by selling off the island to the highest bidders – squeezing minorities out of their neighborhoods through the process of gentrification.

The performance features: The Purple Organ (also the writer), Jonny McGovern, Faceboy, Tom Tenney, TV Head, Ebony & Chiara, Eris Migliori, Ivan Ulz, and Reverend Hank (Hank Flynn).
