Readers react to blog posts and stories from the May 23 issue. On May 21, we wrote about a second hyperloop in the works that could connect Tampa and Orlando along Interstate 4. The Orlando Business Journal reports California-based Hyperloop Transportation Technologies is in talks with Central Florida organizations about the transit project. Last year, a proposed hyperloop route from Orlando to Miami was one of 10 projects selected by Virgin Hyperloop One. @Wassim Safadi YESSS it’s finally happening (hopefully)! This would change everything when it comes to transportation. @Francois R. Thomas [Are] all curves of the I-4 compatible with hyperloop speed without too much G for passengers? @Blake Blahut Too bad Miami will be the new lost city of Atlantis before the end of the century.

On May 24, we reported that local turd George Zimmerman needs a public defender to face his latest charge for misdemeanor stalking because he’s unemployed and $2.5 million in debt. The 34-year-old is accused of harassing a former private investigator who was working on a documentary produced by rapper Jay-Z about the life of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old Zimmerman gunned down in 2012. @Cynthia Ferrell I’m sure it’s only the beginning. Karma will take her sweet time with this menace. @Jacob Brown Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. @Adam Carnegie If Jay-Z is somehow tangentially responsible for getting George Zimmerman in jail, it will be the best thing he has ever done. @Eddie Fulcher Who turned out to be the real “thug”? With his behavior and actions after Trayvon Martin, it’s pretty clear that he was the aggressor.

Orlando Police in hot water over facial recognition software, Colonial Lanes shuts down, Orlando City gets new stadium policies after trash debacle and other news you may have missed last week. »

Orlando Police confirm facial recognition software being used downtown: Orlando Police Chief John Mina confirmed

that three cameras in the downtown area are equipped with Amazon’s facial recognition software. Amazon executives say the technology can be used to track suspects in “real time.” Mina’s statement contradicted earlier claims that OPD was helping Amazon test the software only with cameras located at OPD headquarters. Last week, Mina said no members of the public were being tracked – the testing is limited to seven Orlando Police officers who volunteered for their photos to be uploaded to the pilot program. The American Civil Liberties Union and other civil liberties groups are demanding that Amazon stop selling the technology to law enforcement.

After almost 60 years in operation, Colonial Lanes shuts down: Orlando residents said goodbye last week to one of the city’s lasting institutions, Colonial Lanes. The bowling alley announced its closure in early May after it was purchased in February by a subsidiary of Titan Properties, which filed plans to build a self-storage facility on the property with the city. It’s not clear, though, how much of Colonial Lanes will remain and how much will be converted into a storage facility – the business said on Facebook that a few lanes would be demolished for a “major remodel.” Either way, it will definitely be a different Colonial Lanes than the one opened in 1959.

Parkland school shooting survivors call for protests at Publix: Survivors of the mass shooting that left 17 students and teachers

dead at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are calling on the public to participate in “die-in” protests at their local Publix. The students are boycotting the Florida grocery chain after reports that Publix has donated a record $670,000 to self-described “NRA sellout” Adam Putnam, the Republican Agriculture Commissioner who’s running for governor. While Publix has tried to clarify that it supports Putnam for his pro-business positions and not the gun lobby, it’s hard to divorce Putnam from the National Rifle Association given his “A-plus” rating and commitment to loosening the state’s gun restrictions. “Anyone who supports an NRA sellout is an NRA sellout,” survivor David Hogg tweeted. “Publix is supporting the inaction after Pulse, Strozier, Douglas, Liberty City. Don’t support an NRA sellout.”

Orlando City announces new stadium policies after fans trash field: The Orlando City Soccer Club stadium will now have an “all pour” policy, which means every drink will be poured into a cup without a lid except for people in the suites. Security cameras are being added to the inner bowl, and the club will also start playing a fan “code of conduct” before the game starts. The policy change comes in the wake of Orlando City fans who threw trash onto the field during a game against Atlanta United FC. The Orlando club suspended 38 fans for violating proper conduct rules.

Students sue Florida officials over early voting ban on college campuses: Florida election officials are creating an “unjustifiable

burden” on young people by banning early voting at public buildings on state university campuses, according to a lawsuit filed last week. Students at the University of Florida and Florida State University are joining with the League of Women Voters of Florida to sue Gov. Rick Scott’s administration and strike down the prohibition. After “unconscionably long lines” during the 2012 election, state lawmakers expanded early voting centers to include fairgrounds, courthouses, stadiums, convention centers and government-owned community centers. But in a 2014 ruling, Scott-appointed Secretary of State Ken Detzner prohibited the use of any facilities related to a public Florida college or university for early voting. “The result of the Secretary’s interpretation of the early vote statute is an unjustifiable burden on the voting rights of hundreds of thousands of eligible Florida voters,” the lawsuit alleges. mcordeiro@orlandoweekly.com

There’s too much to choose from. Everything is fucked every which way all the time, and the president keeps bringing out the worst in America. But amid all this seemingly everyday insanity and depravity, a disturbing undercurrent lingers. It’s always been there, of course, ever since Trump announced his plans to run for president in 2015 by explicitly catering to white Americans’ very worst bigotries and fears. This last week, though, it boiled to the surface in two very distinct ways, one of which has disturbing implications, the other of which could provoke a full-on crisis. I’m speaking, of course, about the president’s authoritarian inclination, which has defined every aspect of his administration from Day One, a through-line that connects his appeal to white evangelicals ILLUSTRATION BY CLAY JONES (among the most authoritarian groups in the U.S., according to the seminal book Authoritarianism and Polarization in the American Politics), his sympathy with white nationalists, his Trump’s authoritarian instincts came out to play this week spiteful immigration policy, his ambivalence toward African-American civil BY JE FFREY C.

punished. Fearing the loss of the MAGA fanbase, the spineless NFL did as the racist president dictated and told its black employees to keep their mouths shut and do as they’re told. The same president who said there were “some very fine people” marching with white supremacists in Charlottesville now says those who don’t pay proper tribute to a nationalistic ritual “maybe shouldn’t be in the country.” That is the very definition of authoritarian behavior, which goes hand in hand with institutionalized racism. The second story highlights a different but no less dangerous aspect of Trump’s authoritarian tendencies: tearing down institutions to prop up the leader. This week, Trump launched something of a counteroffensive to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of his campaign’s collusion with Russia, alleging that the “Criminal Deep State” (whatever that means) had embedded (a word Trump could not correctly spell on the first try) a “Spy” (false) inside his campaign “for the sole purpose of political advantage and gain,” yet another ploy to undermine an inquiry that is ensnaring his closest confidants and advisers. There was, of course, no spy. There was a human source whom the FBI used to talk to campaign advisers who were suspected of being too cozy with a hostile power, which is exactly what law enforcement should be doing when there’s evidence that segments of a campaign are colluding with another government. If anything, Trump should be happy the feds were trying to root out these malign influences. The rest of Trump’s claim is ludicrous on its face. If the so-called Deep State wanted to hurt the Trump campaign, why was the extent of this investigation not revealed until well after the election? Why did FBI agents specifically deny it was taking place, in fact – even as the FBI shattered its own protocols to damage Hillary Clinton? It’s stupid, and Trump knows that; he’s playing his base for suckers, muddying the waters so that whatever damaging information emerges can be hand-waved away as a “Witch Hunt!” Stupid though it may be, it’s no less damaging to our institutions and norms, the things that have kept the constitutional government functioning for 230 years. As those things are eroded in the pursuit of political power, the slide toward authoritarianism becomes ever more evident. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

AS OF JULY 1, THE SUNSHINE STATE IS SET TO DROP FROM 10TH IN THE NATION IN ARTS FUNDING

TO 48TH. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13

elsinger, the artistic director of Orlando Shakespeare Theater, stops himself, as if to articulate his next thought. He leans his chin into the propped-up palm of his hand and fixes his eyes on the cluttered bookshelf perpendicular to the desk. He’s quiet now, but visibly frustrated. Like many of us, he’s worried about money. It’s not like the rent is overdue or the utilities company is threatening to shut the power off, at least not yet. Nor is it a problem that arose out of the blue. For years, his and other cultural organizations across Florida have watched their funding dry up as the state slashed its arts and culture grants year after year. But this coming fiscal year, which kicks off July 1, will prove to be especially trying: Local arts groups will take their most intense hits in a decade, only this time there’s not even a recession to blame. In March, the Republican-controlled Legislature passed an $88.7 billion budget, the largest in Florida’s 173-year history. But only $2.7 million of that was set aside for the arts and cultural grants program in the 2018-2019 fiscal year, a depressingly small sum that then must be split among the 489 organizations approved by the state’s Department of Cultural Affairs. For those of us who can’t do the math in our heads, that means that arts and culture grants make up 0.003 percent of the budget – three thousandths of a percent. It’s a far cry from the more than $25 million that was

divvied up last year for theaters, museums, science centers and more. As a result, Orlando Shakes will receive 6 percent of the $150,000 it requested – a meager $9,606. Cuts are sure to come, and whether they’ll be deepest to the group’s programming or staff remains to be seen, Helsinger says – not just for his group, but for almost every organization that has previously relied on grant funding. It’s a similar story for other local cultural organizations as well: The Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center requested $90,000 but will receive $5,892. The Orlando Ballet requested $150,000 but will receive $9,575. The Winter Park Playhouse requested $25,000 but will receive $1,644. The United Arts of Central Florida requested $150,000 but will receive $9,798. The depressing list goes on. Meanwhile, the budget sets aside $1.7 billion to assess damage caused by Hurricane Irma, $65 million to combat the state’s opioid epidemic and $375 million to invest in school security in light of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland earlier this year. There’s also $76 million for Florida’s tourism industry. But for the arts? They get breadcrumbs – less than $3 million. So what gives? It’s not like the arts are pure spending with no return on investment. Just last year, the Department of State highlighted their

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2018 ● orlandoweekly.com

Arts and Economic Prosperity report, which bragged that Florida’s creative industry has generated almost $4.7 billion in total economic activity in the state, supported 132,366 full-time jobs, and delivered more than $492 million in local and state revenue – hotel rooms, restaurant meals and other directly related associated profits. In Central Florida, the report found that the arts and culture sector has generated nearly $400 million of total economic activity, created 13,764 full-time jobs and contributed almost $40 million to state and local government. In Orange County alone, the sector has generated almost $265 million of total economic activity and created 9,630 full-time jobs. Those numbers would seem like an incentive to keep a good thing going, right? “The state was funding the arts four years ago,” Helsinger says. In 2015, he points out, arts funding stood at $43 million; in 2016, $35 million; in 2017, $33 million; in 2018, $25 million. In July, when the budget takes effect, it falls off a cliff. “What giant change happened in the state?” he asks. “And you can’t say it was Parkland, because it wasn’t four years ago. You can’t say it was Irma, because it wasn’t four years ago. So what is the legitimate reason besides the fact that you think the arts should not be supported in the state of Florida, period?”

ARTS FUNDING MAKES UP

0.003 PERCENT OF THE 2018/2019 STATE BUDGET.

hy are these funding cuts a big deal for these groups, some of whom raise almost all of their funds from private donors and ticket sales? The vast majority of grant-based funding in the nonprofit world is “restricted,” meaning project-based. That type of grant will fund a specific program, but it’s more difficult to find someone to underwrite an organization’s operating or administrative expenses, says Vicki Landon, the development director at the Orlando Repertory Theatre. “The state of Florida is one of just a handful of funders that actually offers general operating support for unrestricted funding, where these dollars granted can be used on our utility bill, they can be used on staff salaries, computers or administrative work, insurance,” Landon says. “There’s a lot of funders out there who like to fund our programs, but we need to have that base-level administrative operational person in place or else those programs don’t exist.” And these cuts could erode Central Florida’s rise as a cultural crossroads in the long-term. This region sees roughly 72 million individuals pass through annually, according to Visit Orlando, and not just for the theme parks, says Terry Olson, who heads Orange County’s Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs. It’s for cultural tourism, too. “We’re in a place to be a world cultural capital, to have things that people from all over the world will want to come

see,” Olson says. “[Funding cuts] make it harder to do that. If we want to keep up with the status of, you know, a world cultural capital, we can’t put on little ditties. We have to be excellent in what we do.” Olson adds: “I mean $2 million – it’s 13 cents per citizen, I think, for the state of Florida.” Olson points out that the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra booked Yo-Yo Ma – arguably the greatest living classical musician – for its 25th anniversary concert in early May, and says a city like Orlando needs such culturally significant performances to bolster its reputation within the creative world. For the most part, it’ll be the larger groups within the local arts and culture sector that take the hardest hit. The Orlando Museum of Art, for example, requested $150,000, but will only receive $9,582; last year, OMA received $48,692. That’s a big gap to fill with donor contributions. For smaller groups, that gulf in funding might be a bit easier to handle, especially for those that concentrate on grass-roots funding in the first place. The Winter Park Playhouse is a good example: It will receive $6,483 less in 2018-2019 than it did this year. But as Playhouse co-founder and executive director Heather Alexander explains, that’s manageable. “The Playhouse was not reliant on that,” she says. “We’re not going to fire anyone or cut our programming.

Everything’s going to continue as planned.” Alexander says that if anything must go, it’ll be some of Playhouse’s outreach programming for senior citizens and children. “And that’s not something we’re selling tickets to, right? Unfortunately, if I can’t find any extra money to make up for the cuts, we would just have to take some of those performances away,” Alexander says. “Which is sad.”

s of July 1, when this year’s budget kicks in, the Sunshine State is set to drop from 10th to 48th in the nation in arts funding. That worries Shannon Fitzgerald, director of the Mennello Museum of American Art. Cuts of this nature, she says, make it more difficult to get arts and culture in front of youth. “What is being cut is producing new knowledge and the value of new knowledge,” Fitzgerald says. “We’re producing culture for our culture. So if you take that away, I think we’re just less evolved. And then it trickles down, and then you don’t know what you’re missing. Losing something and getting it back is harder than maintaining.” The same could be said for the economic enticement of the arts: According to the state’s Division of Cultural Affairs and regional arts organizations, for every $1 invested, the CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

arts return between $5 to $11 to communities. Despite those numbers, 95 members of the state House and 31 members of the state Senate voted in favor of the 2018-2019 budget on a bipartisan line. “When you look at the budget, it’s an up or down vote. It’s not any gray area; you don’t get to vote on these issues separately,” says Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, D-Orlando, who voted no on the budget. He cites the cuts to the arts and culture sector as one of his driving reasons for doing so. “And from my point of view, the budget is a values document. If you want to see the values of your politicians and their priorities, just look at their budget.” Smith points out that the Scott administration bragged about the economic impact the creative industry has on Florida, and then adds: “I mean, that’s the perfect example of talking the talk but not walking the walk. Words are meaningless when your actions suggest otherwise.” Orlando Weekly also reached out repeatedly to Rep. Mike Miller, R-Winter Park, and Rep. Bob Cortes, R-Altamonte Springs, two of Florida’s elected leaders who voted yes for the budget, but did not receive comment by press time. For the arts community, there is a silver lining. Although the state has given the arts and culture sector the cold shoulder, Orange County is providing nearly twice what the state is in grant-based funding for the coming fiscal year – just over $6 million, Olson, of Orange County’s Office of Art and Cultural Affairs, says. He adds that that number has been

steadily growing over the last five years because the Tourist Development Tax has grown, as have the number of citizens and visitors the arts organizations are serving. The advocacy on the part of both the community and cultural leaders can’t stop there, says Flora Maria Garcia, president and CEO of United Arts of Central Florida, which raises funds for and awards grants to regional arts groups. According to Garcia, the local arts community has to do a better job of connecting the dots for politicians and business leaders if there’s to be a bright future for arts funding in Florida. “[Legislators] see other issues as a higher priority,” Garcia says. “But if you make the connection about how the arts touch every part of our lives and what a great effect it has on our children if you just look at the statistics, then you can make those connections.” The social impacts are evident. A study by the Center for Fine Arts Education, which used data from the Florida Department of Education, notes that students who have four years of art education score an average of 60 points better on the English sections of SAT tests and 40 points better on math. The study also found that theater students are 40 percent less likely to employ racial or bigoted language or behavior and are 40 percent more likely to have friends of a different social class. Simply put, the arts act as a form of social cohesion. “I think if you want to create less violence in society, as in

[the] Parkland [shooting], investing in culture is a good way to do that,” Helsinger says. “Culture is how people come together. When people come together, we learn our differences. When we become isolated and we treat people as the other, that’s how things like Parkland take place.” Sitting behind his computer, Helsinger runs down a list of what the cuts could mean for Orlando Shakes: He says $140,000 – close to the amount his group requested from the state – is the cost of the group’s Christmas show. That’s also the cost of half of the Shakes’ repertoire of two Shakespeare shows in the spring, so the ax could come down on those. That same amount is also almost the cost of what it takes to run the building for a year, so, he says, they could always run the building with the lights off. (As Helsinger says the latter, he raises an eyebrow sarcastically.) “I’m super thankful to the donor base that we have. I’m super thankful to the city and the county. And I’m very frustrated with the state,” Helsinger says. “I don’t understand, and I know we have state legislators who come and attend our shows.” He refuses to name names, but lays down a challenge to those who voted for this budget: “Is the real reason we do not believe that the state should support the arts in Florida because arts are unimportant? Then say it – put it on your bumper sticker. Say it flat out.”

ing, eating or hauling a papoose. “Colony,” a ceramic wall sculpture by DeVan Jiminez, is delicately beautiful; its nonhuman architectural emptiness is haunting. And Jenn Allen’s photographs soothe down the anxiety flaring in the front of the gallery, with serenely staged dioramas of Florida’s awful architecture after climate change takes its full hold upon this part of the planet. In the gallery’s prominent corner window, Lisa and Matt Duke propose “Bad Faith,” an arrangement of masonry and vines with trash. We asked them about it. “It is a full acknowledgement of the world we live in,” Matt Duke says. “On Florida’s beaches, everywhere you look are plastic shards, cigarette butts and other trash.” Trash has invaded the oceans, and the sea level rise will soon return it to our doorsteps. The Dukes wove these objects into mobiles and vines and decorated concrete blocks “without judgment,” they say. Florida’s love of fake reality is poked great fun at, while the more somber business of postapocalyptic existence – or not – is treated seriously. The exhibit, like many of Greene’s projects, loosely weaves a great many ideas and questions together. The work is intriguing and gives viewers a unique contemplation of humanity’s weird place in our state’s weird nature. arts@orlandoweekly.com

The 27th annual Orlando Fringe

Festival came to a close on Memorial Day, with 2018 going down as one of the wettest fests in recent memory. Tropical rains didn’t seem to dampen audience enthusiasm or demand for Loch Haven Park parking spots. I set a new personal record by reviewing nearly 35 shows, and Orlando Weekly published a total of 50 Fringe reviews; visit our blog for a rundown of the Critics’ Choice awards bestowed by the Orlando Sentinel’s Matt Palm and me during last Monday’s closing ceremonies. Over 14 days, cheese curds were consumed, beer pitchers were emptied, and impromptu art – like Ben Singer’s late-night live ukulele scoring of a Fatty Arbuckle silent film – popped up across the Festival lawn, again proving how lucky Orlando is to be the home of the longest-running Fringe in the United States. But I don’t want to talk about any of that. I want to talk about the gorilla. The most amazing, confounding, frustrating and important show at the 2018 Fringe that you probably didn’t see wasn’t in the program, and you couldn’t find it listed online. But it left an impression that’s lingering even longer than its title: Young Man Dressed as a Gorilla Dressed as an Old Man Sits in a Rocking Chair for Fifty-Six Minutes and Then Leaves. The one-night-only production, which deserves a “truth in advertising” award, is the creation of Australian Jon Bennett, the hyperkinetic hobbit who brought his acclaimed one-man show Fire in the Meth Lab back to Orlando this year. Bennett has been presenting this show – which is exactly what it claims, yet so much more – at festivals around the world for nearly a decade, and its Orlando debut held an eye-opening mirror up to our artistic community. Though nominally a secret, word of the event spread swiftly through social media,

Like a performance art answer to the Milgram Experiment, a mysterious Fringe show starring a gorilla raised serious questions about Orlando’s cultural character. so the Black Venue saw a standing-roomonly crowd for the Tuesday-into-Wednesday midnight show, made up mostly of local and visiting Fringe performers and a smattering of die-hard patrons. After a few initial monkeyshines involving decoy ape suits, the titular star arrived to take his seat onstage, rocking rhythmically – and doing absolutely nothing else – for almost an entire hour before silently exiting as advertised. Objectively speaking, it is the most uninteresting performance imaginable, aside from speculating about the identity of the anonymous actor under the expressionless mask. But the true secret is that the spectators themselves are the real show. I’ve heard stories of past audiences adoring and supporting the gorilla, paying respectful tribute and even forming impromptu societies around him. By contrast, the Orlando audience’s reaction was more raucous than reverential, to say the least. From the opening moments, the theater turned into a free-for-all, with the gorilla treated at best as an accessory, and at worst as an objectified joke. Audience members mobbed the stage, burying the actor in umbrellas and advertisements while gyrating wildly around him. The rest of the crowd was equally restless, shifting from rhythmic

clapping and rounds of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” to violent shushing and back again. As the hour wore on, it became obvious that the audience (which had been taking full advantage of the cash bar) had no intention of being quiet for even 60 seconds. I stood in the back near Bennett, who seemed to be visibly upset – perhaps genuine, perhaps an act? – by the crowd’s chaotic response, repeatedly shouting for people to get off the stage. Festival producer Mike Marinaccio had to personally escort out one patron who was particularly disruptive, even as the sound booth seemed to be egging on the activity, taunting the revelers with ’80s tunes at ear-splitting volume. Like a performance art answer to the Milgram Experiment, the show developed a serious Lord of the Flies vibe, and I halfjokingly predicted the production would conclude with someone either stabbing the gorilla or giving it a blow job. The nadir arrived when an audience member loudly identified Matt Palm from across the room, and led the crowd in a chant demanding he “review the show!” Watching the reticent fellow writer redden, I swiftly stepped out the back door lest the mob turn on me next. Though it ended sweetly enough, with the audience forming archways with their arms for the ape to exit under, I emerged wondering what the experience implies about Orlando’s cultural character. Are we raging narcissists who can’t stand seeing someone else in the spotlight? Are we so focused on always being “entertaining” that we’ve lost patience with more abstract art? Or are our smartphone-addled brains simply incapable of silently “being” anymore? I don’t have any answers, but I’ll be a monkey’s uncle that it took a guy in a gorilla suit to stir up these questions. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Other French-leaning dishes – middleneck clams in a spicy white wine broth, escargots baked in a croissant shell and the tallow candle – are worth a look.

THE EDISON The Disney offshoot of the famed downtown L.A. restaurant/nightclub dazzles with its looks, but baffles with its uninspired and pedestrian menu offerings. Slabs of overdone bacon served on a mini clothesline, heavily breaded and goopy crab cakes, dry meatloaf served with very little gravy, and a meh lamb burger present lost opportunities for creativity. But flashes of brilliance come in the form of corn dogs and fiery lamb meatballs in harissa, and a Rocky Road shake served inside a big-ass beaker is kitschy fun. Disney Springs, 1570 E. Buena Vista Drive, 407-560-9288; $$$$

CHEF WANG’S KITCHEN Beijing-born chef Jian Hua Wang serves some of the best Chinese food in the city. In addition to Northern Chinese and Dongbei specialties, Wang serves Sichuan classics – don’t pass on an infernal bowl of “water boiled spicy fish filet” or the veg-friendly “spicy napa heart wok.” A plate of Japanese eggplant, peppers and potato proffers a taste of the north. Other hits: beef chow fun and sturdy pan-fried beef knishes – dumplings reminiscent of Shanghainese sheng jian bao. Closed Tuesdays. 5148 W. Colonial Drive; 407930-3188; $$

STICKY RICE LAO STREET FOOD Within the spectrum of flavors at the city’s sole Laotian eatery, you’ll find the familiar flavors of sweet and spicy along with flurries of funky, fermented and fishy.

How to Talk to Girls at Parties

BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER

THIS WEEK: Action Point Did you ever see the movie Used Cars? It’s a great 1980 Robert Zemeckis comedy about the war between a ramshackle auto dealership and its state-of-the-art rival – a war that heats up just as the estranged daughter of the rinky-dink establishment’s owner shows up for a visit. I don’t know why I mention this, because I’m sure that movie had no influence on Action Point, which depicts the war between a ramshackle amusement park and its state-of-the-art rival – a war that heats up just as the estranged daughter of the rinky-dink establishment’s owner shows up for a visit. At least star Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the Action Point team can claim real life as an equal inspiration, since the movie is ostensibly based on Action Park, a New Jersey attraction that was infamous for causing guest injuries in the 1980s. (It was known colloquially as “Traction Park” and “Class-Action Park.”) But it took years for the place to be shut down – because hey, New Jersey! Expect lots of Jackass-style physical tomfoolery. (When you see the movie, that is.) (But also if you go to New Jersey.) (R) Adrift Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin star in the true story of a couple of amateur boaters who sailed into a hurricane and then had to guide their battered craft to Hawaii through pure guesstimation and eyeballing. As in real life, it’s the wife who had to do most of the work. But hey, at least they didn’t end up in New Jersey! (PG-13) How to Talk to Girls at Parties Ordinarily, a story about a young punk who falls for an extraterrestrial ingénue would be headed

straight for the CW, or whatever Redbox hellmouth customarily opens up between Maze Runner movies. But when it’s an adaptation of a Neil Gaiman story we’re talking about, and it was directed and cowritten by John Cameron Mitchell of Hedwig and the Angry Inch fame, the trajectory is first Cannes, then a domestic arthouse release. Alex Sharp plays a clubgoer in the U.K. of 1977 who becomes fascinated with an enigmatic representative of an alien race (Elle Fanning). The Hollywood Reporter says co-star Nicole Kidman “appears to be having a blast” as an embittered music manager, which I assume means her face moves. Take me to your leader, as long as he isn’t David Miscavige. (R; opens Friday at Enzian Theater, Maitland) The Rider This 2017 Cannes award-winner from Chinese director Chloe Zhao uses non-professional actors to tell the story of an injured rodeo star who’s searching for a new life. Hey, you know what I’d like to see? A rodeo that uses non-professional riders to tell the story of a member of the New Life church who’s searching for good Chinese. (R) Upgrade The latest from Blumhouse reads like a mash-up of Death Wish, The Six Million Dollar Man and that Twilight Zone episode about the guy who was afraid of his electric razor. A hardened Luddite is able to take revenge on the crooks who crippled him and killed his wife thanks to a chip implant that makes him a superior fighter – and also, conveniently, impervious to pain. If there’s a sequel, I want to see him brave a trip to an amusement park in New Jersey. (R)

GREAT LIVE MUSIC RATTLES ORLANDO EVERY NIGHT

LA REINA Two decades on, legendary reggaetonera Ivy Queen remains at the top BY MONIVETTE CORDEIRO

Luis Miguel

IVY QUEEN ILLUSTRATION BY VALENTINA MATA

ow do you subvert an entire genre of male-dominated music mostly focused on sexually objectifying women in about three minutes? While looking fly as fuck? To date, the only one who knows is Ivy Queen. Long before the era of #MeToo and #TimesUp, the reggaeton pioneer donning 2-inch-long nails and big hoop earrings debuted “Quiero Bailar” in 2003, a consent anthem that knocked machismo down a peg every time the hook was belted out at a club. “Yo quiero bailar/Tú quieres sudar/Y pegarte a mi/El cuerpo rozar/Yo te digo si tú me puedes provocar/Eso no quiere decir que pa’ la cama voy.” (“I want to dance/You want to sweat/And get close to me/The body touches/I’ll tell you if you can provoke me/That doesn’t mean I’m going to bed.”) In a thick vocal style sounding equal parts powerful and sensual, Ivy Queen handed sexual agency back in intersectional fashion to fancy chicks and hood girls. “I’m the one who controls,” she rapped. “I’m the one who decides when we go to mambo – and you know it.” The resurgence of reggaeton in today’s Latin hit parade sounds very different from the genre that once IVY QUEEN faced censure with Tito El Bambino, campaigns in Catalyna Puerto Rico for 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 1 explicit lyrics and House of Blues, Disney Springs dirty dancing. 407-934-2583 Still, pop fusions houseofblues.com/orlando like “Despacito” $39.50-$105 and “Felices los 4” operate under the same male gaze, with women as passive players in their own sexual desires. Which is why after almost 25 years, Ivy Queen – “la perra, la diva, la potra” – remains reggaeton royalty, devoted to unsettling gender norms and carving a space for subgenres like neo-perreo – a diverse group of musicians across the globe warping reggaeton in new ways. The Puerto Rican artist born Martha Ivelisse Pesante Rodríguez doesn’t seem to mind sharing her enduring spotlight, though – Ivy Queen posted a video of herself bopping to Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” and the two have hinted at a collaboration. But don’t get comfortable – La Caballota still spits game and has steadily clawed her way to respect with her bejeweled garras. The 46-year-old has found the secret to aging backwards; she’ll be staying here for a long while. “If in the ’90s I did not leave, at this time I won’t either,” the artist said on Instagram in a seemingly innocent Mother’s Day post. “See my fuel – enough to ruin the life of those who attempt against my principles and my seed. Long lives the mother who birthed you.” Que Lloren! music@orlandoweeklycom

This week, I exasperate my copy

editors by abusing the word “technical” in discussing complex rockers who come at surprising angles with fresh musical results.

BUCKETHEAD, HOUSE OF BLUES, MAY 20

Virtuoso guitar music – music crafted solely for the purpose of showcasing a soloist’s aptitude on the electric guitar – is definitely a niche thing. By its very nature, the idea is ludicrous, a conceit that appeals only to academics and freshman rock dorks. It’s so one-dimensional and ripe for total self-indulgence that only a certain set can devotedly subscribe to it. For everyone else, the contrivance is just too much. And outside of the superhuman technique, the music can be laughable. Have you ever just listened to Yngwie Malmsteen? Buckethead, however, is different. For one, he doesn’t take himself too seriously. Exhibit A: the mask and signature Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket on his head. Goofy as shit, right? He thinks so, too! Compared to that image, every other famous shredder just looks baroque. The joke, however, ends there. Buckethead’s chops are as dazzling as they come. He navigates his blinding licks like he’s on rails, working his hand spiders with astonishing efficiency and mastery. It’s part surgery, part ballet, all lightning. What further makes him a true modern innovator is how he works the non-string parts of his guitar and other technology with the creativity of a turntablist. His music, too, is actually palatable,

The revelation of the night was Backstabber. They’re aces of their instruments, and work as a flashy and together unit.

with something for practically everyone. He rides lots of big riff-rock, of course. And, naturally, he hits genres that are traditional stages for guitar dynamos like metal, blues-rock and funk. But there’s also some barnstorming honky-tonk and some avant-garde laser symphonics that played like live video games. So even though it was a clinic on the electric guitar, it didn’t feel like one. Instead, it was pure spectacle. And even if I couldn’t listen to Buckethead’s records daily – or weekly – I’d go see him any day. More than almost all other kinds of performances, virtuosos are far and away best when experienced live. Besides the above-mentioned technical wizardry, though, a Buckethead concert is much more of a proper show than just that. He flashes some legit robot dance moves and swings the nunchucks, which isn’t all that much stranger than seeing a guitarist rip it up with a KFC bucket on his head in the first place. And there’s also his onstage tradition of exchanging toys with his fans. All of it’s a weird wonderland of fun, fellowship and six-string fireworks for more than just guitar nerds.

BACKSTABBER, WILL’S PUB, MAY 21

In a laudable attempt to turn up the local soil for new discoveries, Norsekorea Presents recently put on a showcase of relatively unfamiliar area bands. Easily, the revelation of the night was Orlando shred-punks Backstabber. They’re a tech-punk band, which is kind of strange, a bit oxymoronic and pretty original. These four guys are all aces of their instruments and work as a flashy and together unit. Naturally, they can’t help but invoke heavy metal with their technical flourishes, but their music is decidedly punk in style, just with bonus flair. On guitars, they charge hard and often rise into squealing prog-metal triumph, even tricking it out with fancy finger taps and dueling solos. Their rhythm section can go from a punk gallop to speed-metal velocity with five-string bass, occasional blasts and lots of double kick drumming. It’s all a combination that’s less odd on stage than it looks on paper, and the live result is as wowing as it is fun. Also decent were St. Cloud indie-rock band O’rchard. Their likable songs beam with brisk, hooky melodies and a distinctly John Darnielle-esque vocal delivery by singer Austin Courtney. Live, however, the band kick things out with a gusto that lands them a little closer to folk-punk territory than their recordings suggest, more Against Me! than Mountain Goats. Although sometimes a little unfinished, they’re a vibrant young band crackling with scrappy energy. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Gay Days Weekend EVENTS

Though we all call the annual LGBT takeover of the tourist sector “Gay Days,” there are actually several different companies planning events throughout the area this week, only one of which is known officially as GayDayS. They’re the ones with the big GayDayS Expo at the SeaWorld DoubleTree, along with pool parties, porn bingo, pageants and the culinary-focused Taste of GayDayS events. Meanwhile, One Magical Weekend, based out of the B Resort in Lake Buena Vista, offers a giant all-nighter at Typhoon Lagoon and a massive dance party at House of Blues. For the women, there’s Girls in Wonderland, whose host hotel is the Grand Orlando Resort in Kissimmee. Their events are a little more widespread, venturing as far north as Ember in downtown. Orlando Black Pride offers up a much leaner schedule, focusing on socializing and business networking at the Wyndham. Parliament House, Stonewall and other local bars throw plenty of side parties with celebrities like Alaska Thunderfuck and Iris Chacón making appearances. So no matter what you call it, one thing’s clear: This weekend is a goddamn party. – Thaddeus McCollum various dates, times and locations | gaydays.com | onemagicalweekend.com | girlsinwonderland.com | orlandoblackpride.com | parliamenthouse.com | stonewallorlando.com | various prices

Electro up-and-comer Petit Biscuit first surfaced with 2015’s spectral Soundcloud smash “Sunset Lover,” one of the most ethereal and vaporous earworms we’ve encountered in a while. Luckily, Petit Biscuit – the solo creative vehicle of French teenager Mehdi Benjelloun – wasn’t just a one-and-done bedroom producer flameout, as last year’s Presence full-length ably proved. Expanding the deliberate, minimalist palette of “Sunset Lover” into a variety of crystalline moods, and featuring guest spots from Lido, Bipolar Sunshine and Cautious Clay, this is real-deal futuristic pop. This tour is Petit Biscuit’s proper introduction to North American audiences, so get ready to nod your heads until it hurts. The show was bumped up from the Social to the big room at the Beacham: always a good sign. – Matthew Moyer with Louis Futon | 9 p.m. | The Beacham, 46 N.

Stimuli: A Night of New Video Art ART

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK 38

Artists absorb society and reflect it back to us, making them inevitably early adopters of new tech, though usually not in the ways that tech was intended, and video was no different – the availability of cheap and instantaneous image capture revolutionized the art world in the early 1970s. Stimuli presents three video artists with deep Orlando roots, but radically differing practices: Haley Mary Patricia McCormick, Josh Rogers (aka Broken Machine Films) and Vanessa Barros Andrade. McCormick, who uses repurposed VHS to “magnify obscenity and isolat[e] familiar things,” hails from Central Florida, though she now lives in Alaska – as far as you can get geographically and climatically from Florida and still be in the United States. Andrade uses video to capture/archive her performance and conceptual works, while Rogers’ video work is closest to live performance – as Broken Machine Films, he manipulates, loops and layers visuals and sound, meaning no presentation is ever quite the same. – Jessica Bryce Young 8 p.m. | The Gallery at Avalon Island, 39 S. Magnolia Ave. | avalongallery.org | free

STILL FROM ‘DANCER’ BY HALEY MARY PATRICIA MCCORMICK

Wear Orange Orlando CIVICS

Every year, thousands of Americans join a club no one wants to be a part of – the community of people who’ve lost loved ones to gun violence or have survived shootings. Gun violence can range from individual suicides to a mass shooting of 49 people at a gay nightclub. Somehow, though, these different traumas have mostly resulted in the same situation – a lifelong commitment from parents, children, students and others affected to make sure no one has to feel the same sorrow. The #WearOrange event in Orlando celebrates bittersweet victories in the fight for gun reforms and honors the people these activists have lost. This family-friendly reunion of sorts includes face painting, arts and crafts, family yoga, food trucks and a healing interactive art activity led by the mother of a Pulse victim. Wear your best tangerine T-shirt and spread some hugs. – Monivette Cordeiro 10 a.m. | Gaston Edwards Park, 1236 N. Orange Ave. | wearorange.org | free

Timecop1983 MUSIC

When the 2011 hit movie Drive came out with its sleekly time-stamped soundtrack, synthwave got a huge shot in the arm. Furthered by the kind of ’80s revivalism that’s blitzed current pop culture like Stranger Things, the underground music genre is enjoying unprecedented international attention. Headlining this deep showcase is the Netherlands’ Timecop1983, one of the genre’s vanguard artists. With a name loaded to the max with nostalgia and specificity, Timecop1983 pretty much nutshells the whole neon fantasy aesthetic of synthwave. Also featured is Orlando’s own notable contribution to the scene, Moondragon, whose live performances are audiovisual adventures. The bill is rounded out by Atlanta synthwave act Vampire Step-Dad and like-minded synthpop groups Aeon Rings from Brooklyn and Korine from Philadelphia. It’s an entire retro-futurist showcase that will play like a live playlist custom-made for your fuchsia Testarossa. – Bao Le-Huu with Aeon Rings, Moondragon, Vampire Step-Dad, Korine | 8 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $15-$18

Saturday, June 2

Obituary MUSIC

When asked to name the quintessential Florida musical legend, the answer will often be Tom Petty or Lynyrd Skynyrd, to which we politely and respectfully reply, “Fuck that: Obituary.” Among the death metal legends that came shambling out of the swampy haze of late ’80s Tampa, none were more foul than the troops of doom led by siblings John and Donald Tardy. From their still eye-opening 1989 debut, Slowly We Rot, on through last year’s Obituary, the band has stayed true to their pulpy take on the DM template: humid, lurching, twilit riffs paired to a palpitating rhythm section and John Tardy’s frankly ghoulish and unhinged screeches. (Their first two albums didn’t even have lyrics, just wordless anguish!) Live, it’s (still) pure assault from these true horror icons of Central Florida. – MM with Pallbearer, Skeletonwitch, Dust Bolt, Generichrist | 6 p.m. | The Haven, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park | 407-673-2712 | thehavenrocks.com | $25

Peter Hook & the Light MUSIC

Performing both Substance compilations by the seminal New Order and Joy Division, Peter Hook is one of the last touring, performing and living remnants of the original guard of post-punk. But his current band, Peter Hook & the Light, is better than nervous fans might hope. Even our own Bao Le-Huu said upon first seeing them, “With each successive song, my tall, deep well of fan reservation abated.” Consider it a multi-pronged blast from the past, where some of your longforgotten angst and nostalgia can clash for an evening of raw, body-thrashing entertainment. Or, if it suits you better, you can just stand in the back and feel young again, either way. – Xander Peters 7 p.m. | The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave. | 877-435-9849 | plazaliveorlando.org | $25-$40

FRIDAY & SATURDAY, MAY 31 & JUNE 2

Star Trek: Abduction O P E RA

Opera Orlando concludes its season this week with a take on Mozart’s The Abduction From the Seraglio that boldly goes where no production has gone before: into the 23rd century of Star Trek lore. The libretto tells the story of a European nobleman who travels to Turkey to rescue his fiancée, who has been captured by the Pasha and forced to join his harem. And if you’re thinking that that synopsis sounds like Original Series fodder, you are exactly the intended audience. The lead is a Capt. James T. Kirk analogue, his opposition a Klingon, and the female leads are represented by Uhura and a green-skinned ingénue. This adaptation premiered at the Pacific Opera Project, and Josh Shaw, who conceived, rescripted and directed the adaptation, comes to Orlando as stage manager for these performances. Boldly go. – TM 6:30 p.m. | The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave. | 877-435-9849 | operaorlando.org | $29-$69

MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2018 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y D A N S AVA G E

I am a 38-year-old gay man with a serious problem. My boyfriend of five years has developed a strange fascination. We’ve always watched porn together, but now he has been looking at straight porn and even lesbian porn (!!!) more and more often. More than once he has expressed an interest in having a MMF threesome – and he’s a self-proclaimed gold-star gay! This week, I discovered he had hidden a Fleshlight from me. I could tell he had used it. What is going on with him? On the other hand, we still have sex pretty frequently. He really gets off when I call his ass a “pussy,” which I’ll do to turn him on, but I find it pretty weird. He also tells me he gets off on the thought of the two of us fucking a woman together. This really seems bizarre! Could my beautiful bottom boy be turning bi? If he is, I don’t know how we can handle it. Guy Alarmed, Yeah, By Younger Boyfriend’s Interest Turning bi? Unlikely. Always was bi and only just realized it? Likelier. Always was bi but identified as gay because (1) he prefers men as romantic partners and (2) the biphobia he encountered in gay male spaces/bedrooms/buttholes convinced him to stay closeted but he doesn’t want to live a lie anymore and he’s done hiding from the man he loves but instead of using his words and coming out to you like a grown-up, GAYBYBI, your boyfriend is letting you know he’s bi with

his porn choices and a big push to make a MMF threesome sound like a sexy adventure you would both enjoy? Likeliest. As for how to handle it, GAYBYBI, you’ll have to use your words: Ask your boyfriend if he’s bi. (Spoiler: He’s bi, bicurious or so homoflexible he could tour with Cirque du Soleil.) If you’re not interested in having sex with women, tell him so. If being with you means he can never have sex with a woman, tell him so. And if you would never knowingly date a bi guy, tell him he deserves better. A relationship question that doesn’t involve sex: Occasionally when two people live together, they bump into each other or one may get in the way of the other. Is it reasonable to be put off if rather than simply hearing “Excuse me” when you are inadvertently in someone’s way, the person trying to gain access says, “Do you have to stand there?” Just Seems Rude People who are courteous to strangers (“Excuse me, can I squeeze past you?”) and contemptuous with intimate partners (“Do you have to stand there, you fucking dumbass?”) don’t value their partners and don’t deserve intimacy. People who are assholes to everyone don’t deserve intimacy either, of course, but they get points for being consistent. I recently posted an online ad for a jackoff buddy. I got a response from a man who turned out to be a gorgeous young Sri Lankan dude with a huge, beautiful uncut cock. Anyway, I was really looking forward to him jacking me off and vice versa. But when I arrived, he said he was only interested in me giving him a massage and then a hand job. Apparently, he’s a straight guy who wanted to experiment with men in a very limited way. Like I said, SUPER HOT, so I happily obliged. But after he came, I was really aching for release

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2018 ● orlandoweekly.com

myself. But as I stated earlier, he made it clear he did not want to reciprocate. After we were finished, he indicated that he might hit me up again. Do you think I should continue with the massage and “happy ending” in hopes he will someday feel comfortable enough to reciprocate? Or should I just go ahead and find myself another jack-off buddy? Craving Uncut Masculine Sri Lankan Another jack-off buddy? No, no. Additional jack-off buddy. I recently spent a wonderful weekend with a young woman from out of town who identifies as queer and poly. Being the curious guy I am, I had her explain what these things meant to her. She went on to say that she is considering changing from poly to nonmonogamous. I find this confusing. I’m certainly nonmonogamous, but I’ve never thought of myself as poly. What is the difference? Confused Over Lines Inside Names I would describe the difference as Googleable, COLIN. But since you asked: A nonmonogamous person has sex with their partner and others; a poly person has or is open to having committed and concurrent romantic relationships. For one example: An ethically nonmonogamous woman fucks the boyfriend/husband she loves and other guys she doesn’t; a poly woman has two (or more) guys she both loves and fucks. I have two complaints: one with the world and one with you. My problem with the world is that it seems to think it is possible to embrace the rights of sex workers and still stigmatize the men who employ them. I am in a happy monogamish marriage, and I enjoy a very good, vanilla-but-bordering-on-tantric sex life with my wife. Early on, when we discussed how open our marriage should be, we decided it would be all right for me to see escorts several times a year. This gives me some sexual variety and keeps her from feeling threatened by my becoming emotionally involved with a third party. She is very mono and has no interest

“ W H AT W O R K S ”

in going outside the marriage for sex. My quarrel with you has to do with your oft-repeated advice that people should break things off with partners who don’t perform oral sex. My wife doesn’t like to give head – and I really don’t like getting it from her, since she doesn’t like doing it. It is, however, one of the things on my list for my quarterly pro session. So I go down on her, she doesn’t go down on me, and I see escorts who do. And … It Works For Us In regards to your first complaint, IWFU, there are sex workers out there fighting for their rights and fighting the stigma against sex work – along with fighting prohibition, the Nordic Model and SESTA (Google it) – but you don’t see the men who employ them stepping up and joining the fight. “[It’s time for] all of you clients out there [to] get off your duffs and fight,” sex worker and sex-worker-rights advocate Maggie McNeill wrote on her blog. “Regular clients outnumber full-time whores by at least 60 to 1. Gentlemen, I suggest you rethink your current silence, unless you want to be the next one with your name and picture splashed across newspapers, TV screens and websites.” In regards to your second complaint, IWFU, it is true that I’ve said – on one or two occasions – that oral comes standard and any model that arrives without oral should be returned to the lot. I’ve also said that you can’t be in an LTR without paying the price of admission, and I’ve said that a lot more often. If not getting oral at home is the price of admission you’re willing to pay to be with your wife, and if allowing you to get oral elsewhere is the price of admission she’s willing to pay to be with you, then godspeed, IWFU – and tip the sex workers you patronize, and speak up to fight the stigma against doing sex work and hiring sex workers.
