In 2006 Antony and the Johnsons and Charles Atlas took their collaborative performance Turning to major cities in Europe. This documentary film explores the heart of that performance.

This short feature is equal parts concert document, experimental art piece and portrait of the 13 women who were part of Antony and the Johnsons ‘Turning’ tour. The idea was that during each song a different women — including transsexuals, lesbians and straight women — would stand on a slowly turning platform, their images projected in giant size, as Antony performs some of his wonderfully emotional and personal songs – many of which touch on gender identity, or at least more generally on feeling like an outsider.

‘Ang.: Lone’ is a sort of social realist ‘rebellious teen movie’. It tells the story of a troubled, emotionally confused, and defiant 16-year-old girl called Lone. Lone runs away from a girls’ home in Jutland and travels to the home of her foster parents. Her visit quickly gives rise to a conflict so she travels onward to Copenhagen. In Copenhagen she enters into lower and middle class milieus and the hippiesque underground, but she runs away from each of these because she manages to start conflicts with most people by acting aggressively aggrieved. Lone finds a boyfriend and becomes pregnant during the couple of months she spends in Copenhagen before she is found and placed in a mothers’ home which she eventually runs away from in order to have an illegal abortion.Read More »
