»Kalup Linzy as Labisha The Diva«, performance documentation. Kalup Linzy is a video and performance artist. He plays many of the characters in his videos himself and enlists artist friends to perform the others. Many of the characters appear in drag, their vocal tracks either exaggeratedly sped up or slowed down. His videos build a narrative series which alternately mimics, lampoons, and inhabits TV soap operas’ fevered, melodramatic tenor and suspenseful cliffhanger endings.
