Goodbye Haute Glue is a feature-length film that combines documentary and drag revue to tell the story of Haute Glue, a monthly experimental queer art and drag show hosted and produced by Mars from 2018-2020 at Black Water Bar. The film interweaves the final digital performance of that show - postponed by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the people’s uprisings of 2020 - and features a cast of exquisite local Portland drag talent. At once deeply personal and steeped in collective pleasure and pain, Goodbye Haute Glue performs a needed community elegy for the joy, and grief, of creating something, and letting it go.
