AnimalParts’  ‘avant-garde autobiography‘, Revenge of the Popinjay is an experimental rap-horror show in which Anthony struggles to cope with the loss of his sister while uncovering a frightening link between himself, his lover, and an illusive gay rap star/serial killer targeting heterosexuals.

Revenge of the Popinjay combines storytelling, stand-up, physical theater, performance art, and original live rap music to create a one-of-a-kind theatrical event. Popinjay satirizes the clichés of homophobic culture and questions the capacity for evil in any human being.

As an acting a partner to Anthony Johnston's incredibly courageous and healing performance and Nathan Schwartz' performance, lighting has an important role as a story teller which guides the audience through winding routes in Anthony's layered conscious.
