QUEEN SHMOOQUAN

.. WHO IS QUEEN SHMOOQUAN? REVIEWS: "Queen Shmooquan is part sex goddess, part retarded child.She is a kind of priestess of strange rituals in which the stuff of religion gets tangled up with the trappings of politics, as performed by a sexually precocious wild child. She's beyond weird, but she still manages to be poetic, prophetic, absurd and never less than compelling" - PARTY VOLCANO."Lucky for us, dreams came true that night—especially dreams involving a pretty young woman regurgitating chewed-up Twinkies into the mouth of a rubber chicken. Performance-art freak highlight: Queen Schmooquan's premature gonging was the night's biggest controversy. (Confidential to the Queen: Please return for Gong Show II—the citizens of Seattle demand it.)" -THE STRANGER."For someone of such tiny, compact, gymnastlike stature, she commands attention with a magnetic charisma, humor, and emphatic body language, dragging you, even against your will, into her worlds...you have no choice but to be completely captivated by her performances."- THE SEATTLE WEEKLY.JEPPA K HALL(performance artist, vocalist, musician, songwriter) through her alter ego Queen Shmooquan (shmoo like "shmooze" and quan like "kwan”) manifests unusual stories and bizarre images, creating a new performative mythology. Queen Shmooquan is a modern day oracle... a transcendental burlesque clown! The Queen vacillates between many different worlds, intermarrying the familiar imagery of the shared collective American unconsciousness, with the unknown and cosmic, to create smart, beautiful, and surreal landscapes. She is the fool. The woman child. The innocent and the all knowing. Using her transformative powers, Queen Shmooquan leads psychedelic, super-real journies. Transcendin her Walmart purgatory, she creates ecstatic experiences for herself, her audiences, the world and all its inhabitants.
