A documentary performed by Warwick Broadhead, and based on his life.
Faced with a director's provocations, flamboyant performer Warwick Broadhead
is pushed to re-enact the highest and the lowest moments of his life using
his own cast of alter egos.
From lavish scenes with opulent costuming to the intimate whisperings
of a man alone, Warwick bares his soul in phases. He revisits the young
man in 1950's suburbia; the orgy of self-discovery in 60's San Francisco;
the moments of reflection as an aging artist alone in the maze of his
local sauna.
Rubbings From a Live Man is a tribute to one man's ability to stare his
life in the face, by performing it anew.
