Together, Lawson and Pollard, under the moniker of 2boys.tv and sometimes even as their alter-egos Gigi L’Amour and Pipi Douleur, create and tour multimedia performance pieces that often incorporate video projections, soundscapes, found and original music scores, transgendered apparitions, outrageous (sometimes sculptural) costume, props, vocal/textual works, and the art of lip-sync. Based in Montréal, CANADA, the duo has also produced several video art pieces (including Occupée [2004], Something Old… [2003], Teddy Bear’s Picnic [2002]) Their videos, installations and trans-disciplinary performance works have been presented in clubs, galleries, theatres and cabarets across Canada (Montreal, Halifax, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Vancouver) as well as in New York City, Milan, Madrid, Barcelona and Buenos Aires.

“Besides doomed divines, other theatrical spirits conjured up include East Village performance artist Jack Smith, the late Charles Ludlam (founder of NYC’s Ridiculous Theatre), even Canada’s own Tanya Mars. At its best, camp exposes the questionable nature of gender, class, and race, while also creating empathy for its subjects. This is very much the territory that Lawson and Pollard travel…” – Andy Fabo, LOLA Magazine
