When free love and bad fashion ruled, there was only one Queen of the Galaxy.
Barbarella (1968) features Jane Fonda in the title role. Set in the 40th century, Barbarella is tasked with earth-saving mission by the President of Earth, to retrieve Doctor Durand Durand from the planet SoGo. The film plays out this loose plot in a tongue-in-cheek form, commenting on the over-sexed humor and fun of the 60's. In the film, Barbarella often finds herself in hilarious and quirky erotic but non-explicit scenarios. Some memorable scenes include a sequence where Barbarella undresses in zero gravity during the opening credits, and when she is captured in a torture device know as the Excessive Machine - an ironic contraption that tortures through sexual pleasure.
The June 4 event will offer a variety of fun and social activities, in addition to the screening of Barbarella. The film will also be projected along the Atrium wall accompanied by the spins of D.J. Johnny Tran, mixing everything from 80's new wave to mainstream hip-hop. POP will again feature Dr. Sketchy's, San Diego's premier cabaret life-drawing group. Dr. Sketchy's will provide guests the opportunity to get creative and lounge in the Atrium while sketching live models.
New to this event, MoPA is partnering with Sezio, to offer guests the opportunity to create custom screen printed t-shirts, using design elements that were exclusively developed by local artist and Sezio content director, Joel West. For more information on Sezio visit: www.sezio.org
