The Divine Double Feature: Hairspray & Pink Flamingos at Revival House Perth
Celebrate the outrageous genius of Divine in this unforgettable double bill showcasing two sides of John Waters' cinematic universe! Experience the full spectrum of Waters' filmmaking - from his mainstream breakthrough to his underground shock masterpiece.
Hairspray (7:30 PM) - Waters' most accessible and joyful film stars Divine as Edna Turnblad, the loving mother of dance-crazy Tracy in 1960s Baltimore. This exuberant musical comedy tackles segregation and social change with infectious energy, catchy songs, and Divine's most endearing performance. A celebration of individuality, acceptance, and the power of dancing your troubles away.
Pink Flamingos (9:40 PM) - Waters' notorious 1972 underground classic that earned the tagline "An Exercise in Poor Taste." Divine plays Babs Johnson, defending her title as "The Filthiest Person Alive" against rival criminals the Marbles. This transgressive midnight movie pushed every boundary and became a cult phenomenon that launched Waters' career and made Divine a counter-culture icon.
Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
