SCUM Emory

Through Emory's new living and learning initiative, Clifton Communities, our group, Solanas on Stage and Screen presented Valerie Solanas' controversial play, "Up Your Ass."

This channel is a collection of our group's performance, behind the scenes moments, interviews, and thoughts about Solanas and her work. A huge thank you to all of the people who helped make this project possible. 

"Up Your Ass" was written by Valerie Solanas in 1965. It is a wild, funny, and sometimes profane commentary on gender, sexuality, and capitalism. Solanas infamously attempted to assassinate Andy Warhol after he refused to produce this play and lost his copy. After being rediscovered in one of Warhol's trunks in 1999, it was produced in San Fransico. Emory's production is the second performance of this play.
