Description

Troma Double-Feature with Lloyd Kaufman in attendance! ALL AGES Lloyd Kaufman in attendance for the Philly Premiere of #ShakespearesShitstorm and a screening of the Troma classic TROMEO AND JULIET! NOTE: Proof of full vaccination (physical card or photo) and masks are required to attend events at PhilaMOCA. The legendary Lloyd Kaufman returns to PhilaMOCA to host the Philly Premiere of his brand new feature film #ShakespearesShitstorm! Followed by the Philly Premiere of the new Troma release DIVIDE & CONQUER! The Opioid Epidemic is destroying America. Legendary director Lloyd Kaufman celebrates Troma’s 45th and his 50th year making movies, by taking on Big Pharma, addiction and the intolerance of social media in #ShakespearesShitstorm. This irreverent musical adaptation of “The Tempest” is ripe with bawdy couplets, Hieronymus Boschian images of excess and unrefined iambic pentameter. ̋ #ShakepearesShitstorm marks the most ambitious project in Troma’s 45 year history. Working with one of Hollywood’s best special effects companies, Troma brings a whole new experience to their stylized brand. Having a bigger budget also brought about larger scale on-location filming in Albania (a first for narrative feature films in the country) as well as a celestial orchestral score from Portugal and a little help from the Bard. Shakespeare has never been this raw and unfiltered. Followed by a screening of the Troma/Lloyd Kaufman classic TROMEO AND JULIET (1997)! Co-writted by Lloyd and James Gunn (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, THE SUICIDE SQUAD). The Philadelphia Mausoleum of Contemporary Art (PhilaMOCA) is a full-time art and event space housed in a 100+year-old former showroom for mausoleums owned by Diplo.
