American writer and performer Lisa Carver is known for her unflinching writing in the cult zine Rollerderby, and for her revealing memoir Drugs Are Nice: A Post-Punk Memoir. Her wild 'gore operas' in the group Suckdog have featured nudity, urination, simulated sex and audience agitation.
She visited Auckland and Wellington this week with her confrontational performance troupe and Kiran Dass was there at the Auckland show where she had spaghetti flung at her. Carver spoke to Dass about why she loves the "weirdos" that send her fan mail, how she aims for her shows to be the destruction of everything, and why she doesn't get her kit off onstage anymore now that her fourteen-year-old daughter "math geek" Sadie has joined the group.
