From the very first scene of James Kicklighter’s film (which went on to win countless awards), it is impossible not to warm to the disarmingly charming Lucas. Besides her powerful voice that literally sends shivers down your back, both her quiet confidence and her sheer natural generosity of spirit, leave you slightly in awe. Lucas insists that there is more to her than being trans, and that is reflected in how Kicklighter filmed her story.
Fast forward to the present time and Lucas has very successfully made both her NY Metropolitan Opera debut and her London Coliseum debut and she is back working with Picker. With his husband Aryeh Lev Stollman, Picker has composed a new opera LiLI Elbe about the Danish painter and trans woman who was among the early recipients of gender-affirming surgery. Already her story has been the subject of a film ……The Danish Girl .…. when LiLI was played by a cisgender male, however, the opera was written specifically for Lucas giving it so much more authenticity.
LiLI Elba the Opera has just enjoyed its World Premiere at Theater St Gallen in Switzerland to rave reviews and has more performances this month. We seized the opportunity to reach out to her while she had a few days off to catch.
Multi-award winning filmmaker Eytan Fox is often referred to as the ‘father of Israeli queer movies’ : think Yossi and Jagger, Yossi Bubble (Film).
He now has a wonderful brand new film …. his first one shot in English …. and starring John Benjamin Hickey and newcomer #NivNissim. Queerguru tracked him down in Tel Aviv to talk with him about this new heart-warming romance that is perfect for these times
