Diamanda Galas with her brother, Philip-Dimitri, in 1980. Philip-Dimitri, a playwright, passed away due to AIDS-related complications in 1986. His death became the inspiration for a bulk of Diamanda’s work during the late 80s and early 90s (Most notably 1991′s Plague Mass), and it was also the catalyst behind her involvement with AIDS activist groups such as Act Up.

“Male journalists will say, ‘She did this work because her brother died, isn’t it wonderful?’, and I’ll say ‘Kiss my ass - it’s not wonderful. I am not a noble person, my brother wouldn’t want your journalistic sympathy, and not only that - he just called me from Hell the other day and told me he’s never been fucked so good in his life, so kiss my ass!’“
