Description
Director Florian Habicht (Woodenhead, Kaikohe Demolition) crafts together a flamboyant, tour-de-force exploration of the life and times of performance artist Warwick Broadhead.
In this hybrid documentary, Broadhead re-enacts the highest and lowest points of his life through various alter-egos and vignettes that lavish his story upon the screen. Together filmmaker and subject revisit Broadhead’s childhood in 50’s Kiwi suburbia, his wild ecstatic 60’s in San Francisco with the Angels of Light, and a heap of trauma, exaltation and grief ever since. Through it all Habicht searches for the soul of his subject and explores the cultures that forged him.
A unique collaboration between two of New Zealand’s most original artists, Rubbings from a Live Man is a testament to one man’s ability to stare his life in the face, by performing it anew.
