Multiple Maniacs (1970) Directed by John Waters 1h 31min Rating: 18 John Water’s darkly comic second feature film is awash with depravity and anarchy, starring Divine in perhaps her most unforgettable role. Produced in Waters’ native Baltimore on a shoe–string budget, Dreamlanders (including David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Susan Lowe, Edith Massey, George Figgs, and Cookie Mueller) feature as a misfit troupe of circus performers, the Cavalcade of Perversion. Their surreal and shocking tale of murder, robbery and lobster sex in an indisputable cult classic. This event forms part of the public programme accompanying Putti’s Pudding, an exhibition of works by Cookie Mueller and Vittorio Scarpati (9 September–12 November 2017) at Studio Voltaire. ‘Putti’s Pudding’ is a book and ‘final project’ by American writer and actor Mueller, and her husband, Italian artist Scarpati. Published in 1989, the same year both died from complications related to AIDS, it pairs drawings by Scarpati with writing by Mueller. Reimagined as an exhibition at Studio Voltaire, Putti’s Pudding features forty–five original felt–tip pen on notepad drawings made by Scarpati when he lost the ability to speak, accompanying texts by Mueller, and a public programme of talks, readings, screenings and performance.
