This piece was an act to subvert institutions by raising questions about high and low art and exclusivity and access. 

The show featured a range of Elvis impersonators, The original Black Elvis, The Elvis of Essex, a drag queen Elvis, drag king and trans Elvis each a representation of their individual uniqueness, and at the same time a representation of the idea that we are all one.
