John Kelly: Dargelos

Two-time Obie Award winning performance artist John Kelly will workshop new material for his latest solo piece Dargelos.

Best known for his portrayals of historic and mythic characters including Joni Mitchell, Egon Schiele, Orpheus, and transvestite trapeze artist Barbette, John Kelly introduces his latest creation: DARGELOS.

This unique informal workshop presentation will feature and array of songs, stories and poetry. Kelly fans will be thrilled to learn that Dargelos is the brother of chanteuse Dagmar, an East Village icon who made a splash in the 1980s performance scene — including a legendary concert series at Carnegie Hall.
