DESCRIPTION:In DISCOTROPIC | Alien Talk Show (2015) niv Acosta seizes on an elementary medium of transgender exposure—television and the confessional culture of the talk show—to explore the relationships between science fiction, disco, astrophysics, and the black American experience. In collaboration with performers Monstah Black, Justin Allen, André D. Singleton (aka Brohogany Opulence), Juliana Huxtable, and Ashley Brockington he tapes a talk show to revisit past futures and claim a fantastical site of possibility. DISCOTROPIC is episodical and has premiered earlier episodes as a part of New Museum’s Triennial ‘Surround Audience’ 2015 as well as in the Museum of Contemporary African Diasooran Art’s (MoCADA) Brooklyn Soul Festival ‘Black August’ 2015.
