Vaginal Davis presents Rising Stars, Falling Stars

Silent movie expert Vaginal Davis presents early episodes with Felix the Cat. The first cartoon character who sold out cinemas, made it on the first-ever TV test pattern in 1928. Felix's exact origins remain unknown: he was created by either Pat Sullivan or Otto Messmer. In any case, the tomcat – no stranger to surreal situations – did not initially survive the advent of talking pictures, and had to wait until the 1950s for a renaissance. Felix the Cat will be accompanied by musicians John and Tim Blue. Followed by drinks in the Red Foyer. (Dec. 11)
