Kalup Linzy’s videos and live performances are influenced by soap operas, music videos, black comedians, R&B, blues and pop music, and drag performance. His unforgettable characters–many of them played by Linzy himself—express a distinct American pop-cultural voice. Linzy and his collaborators embrace the low-budget production values and visual conventions of community-access cable television. Portrayed against simple, pared-down environments, his stories focus on language and lyrics while examining the real and imagined lives.
