"[M. Lamar] deconstructs the persona of the diva even as he wraps himself in divalike hauteur."
- The New Yorker

Queer Conscience is pleased to present performance artist, singer, pianist, composer and provocateur M. Lamar's new song cycle Dirty Dirty Nigga: Songs of  Rebellion Rebirth and Resistance. An hour long thearical song cycle, Dirty Dirty... draws from queer and black histories and art forms to create landscapes of longing and states of radical defiance. Musically Lamar draws on blues and gospel traditions merging them with his rich counter tenor and  new classical music leanings to create a singular musical voice and perfomative experience. Projections of image and text add to and echo many of the themes explored in the music.
