Hedwig and the Angry Inch
An anatomically incorrect rock odyssey.
Directed by John Cameron Mitchell
Produced by New Line Cinema, Killer Films
A glam rock musical odyssey that blends theatrical irreverence with genuine existential pain, celebrating self-invention and queer identity through song, humor, and raw vulnerability.
Raised a boy in East Berlin, Hedwig undergoes a personal transformation in order to emigrate to the U.S., where she reinvents herself as an 'internationally ignored' but divinely talented rock diva, inhabiting a 'beautiful gender of one'.
