Dynasty Handbag Performs as part of American PUSSY FAGGOT! Realness on Saturday, January 7, 2012 at Public Assembly in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

“DYNASTY HANDBAG is a surge of feminist fury, an energy that is at once liberating and frightening, delivering performances that go beyond what on the surface appear to be childish acts of defiance. Cameron fuses mismatching post-punk 80s apparel, camp, high drama, and brutal honesty to create friction, an irrepressible tension that arises when music rubs up against performance art to create Dynasty Handbag. Monologues break down into schizophrenic dialogues, only to turn back into equally disturbing monologues—one personality defeating the other. Voiceovers and disheveled dance moves fall out of sync with her laptop beats, leaving the audience laughing to cover up the unease, the feeling that perhaps this painful honesty has hit too close to home.”
