Featuring Cecilia Gentili
Directed by Gene Fischer
When the judge gave Cecilia the verdict–‘Ms. Gentili, I am going to allow you to stay in the US under a full asylum’–she couldn’t wait to go back to Argentina! Returning would be awesome, weird, sad and fun, and it would reveal how a ‘New York downtown transsexual sweetheart’ was made from an ugly Argentinean Litoral birthplace. (Not to mention the sex that was part of that development: sweet and dirty and full of merit.) Developed in a Dixon Place lounge residency throughout 2017, The Knife Cuts Both Ways is a hilarious and raunchy autobiographical take on one trans woman’s queer multicultural experience.
