Arias with a Twist

Joey Arias is a singer and performance artist whose shows mix music, sexual ambiguity and over-the top visuals. Arias arrived in New York just as the downtown performance scene of the late 1970's was reaching its peak, and as he started making a name for himself he met Basil Twist, a talented puppeteer who was looking to expand his work in new ways. Arias and Twist became a team, and as they fused their complimentary creative visions Twist's remarkable creations gave a new life to Arias's ideas.
