  glbtq >> arts >> Eichelberger, Ethyl
An influential figure in experimental theater, writer and drag performer Ethyl Eichelberger is most remembered for his repertoire of self-penned solo plays based on the lives of the great women of history, literature, and myth.
Eichelberger's plays revel in a kind of poly-literacy that mixes classical references with pop culture.
Eichelberger's plays were performed in almost any space that might pass as a stage in New York City during the height of the East Village performance bar scene of the 1980s.

 THEATER: ETHYL EICHELBERGER'S 'LEER' - New York Times
AS a curtain-raiser to his ''Casanova,'' Ethyl Eichelberger does ''King Lear,'' in a demented solo version aptly entitled ''Leer.'' There is a funhouse grin plastered across the face of the old king.
Eichelberger cast Black-Eyed Susan as ''Hamlette,'' while reserving the roles of Gertrude, Claudius and the Ghost of Hamlette's Father for himself (this made for a very crowded closet scene).

 Introduction to Ethyl Eichelberger
Undeterred, Eichelberger devoted his life and substantial talents to creating for himself the great female (and later male) roles of history and drama.
His drive and talent coupled with the burgeoning East Village scene of the early 1980s assured that rarely did a night pass in NYC during that decade when Ethyl Eichelberger could not be found on a stage somewhere spinning one of his mini-epics.
While Eichelberger’s performance magic and mania is lost on the page, in the text of his first play, however, a reader will discover the establishment of thematic concerns and structural tactics found throughout his later works.

First there's Ethyl, the Magic Johnson of the avant-guard, six feet-plus of violent benevolence, looming even higher with a towering coxcomb's wig and showering his prodigal gifts of wit, intelligence, and accordion playing on the lucky audiences jammed around the tables at La Mama's Club.
Ethyl also has the good grace and good sense to get out of the way when she delivers it.
Eichelberger's adaptation and embellishment-- including rhyme, which Moliere didn't use--has much more humanity than the original, and one wonders if the Sun King might not have liked it better.

 RidicuFest 2000
Although founded in the mid-'60s by playwright Ronald Tavel and director John Vaccaro (co-founders of the original Play-House of the Riduculous) the movement reached its ultimate realization and greatest success in the career of Charles Ludlam, whose Ridiculous Theatrical Company had a string of downtown hits in the '70s and '80s.
When Ludlam died of AIDS in 1986, his legacy was carried on by the likes of Everett Quinton (his long-time collaborator), Ethyl Eichelberger, and Charles Busch.
Also featured in the festival will be plays by Eichelberger and Tavel, as well as new works by Todd Miller, an adaptation of the Jack Smith underground film Normal Love, and a Wooster Group-style hybrid of A Doll's House and The Stepford Wives.

Eichelberger plays Dilbert as a put-upon Everyman, longing for love and happiness but finding only pain, betrayal, and despair.
Although this is first and last entertainment, Ethyl Eichelberger obviously has a nimble mind well versed in the current political climate and a heart filled with love for gay people.

Carr has organized this collection both chronologically and thematically, ranging from the emphasis on bodily manipulation/endurance in the 70s to the underground club scene in New York to an insider’s analysis of the Tompkins Square Riot as a manifestation of the cultural and social conflicts that underlie much of performance art.
She examines the transgressive and taboo-shattering work of Ethyl Eichelberger, Karen Finley, and Holly Hughes; documents specific performances by Annie Sprinkle and Lydia Lunch; and maps the development of such artists as Robbie McCauley, Blue Man Group, and John Jesurun.
She also describes the “cross-over” phenomenon of the mid-80s and considers the far-right backlash against this mainstreaming as cultural reactionaries sought to curb the influence of these new artists.

The centerpiece of this program of shorts by the Shotgun Players (spread out over two nights) is Ethyl Eichelberger's Dasvedanya Mama, directed by Mark Swetz.
Dasvedanya Mama is the late Eichelberger's spoof of Three Sisters and The Seagull, though "spoof" doesn't capture the inventive, irreverent absurdity of the piece.
The show includes the cast's improvised, hilarious dialogues on the nature of acting and actors; interrupting a Chekhov parody to tweak Stanislavsky makes a grand, crazy sense.

Herring chose the technique because it is a traditionally female activity and because he wanted a process that would reflect the passage of time.
Appropriately, there was a performance aspect to the Eichelberger works.

The sculpture series A Flower for Ethyl Eichelberger: an Ongoing Project (1991–1994) was a moving, elegiac tribute to the legendary drag performance artist who committed suicide in 1990, and a homage to the roiling, polymorphous East village art scene of the 1980s.
The queen-size blankets and oversize coats were knitted in silver Mylar and clear plastic tape, material to make a drag queen proud with its tinselly shimmer, and also a nod to the shoestring theatricality of the East Village scene.
