All of this to say, perhaps Trapped In The Closet would be better dubbed a “hipster-hopera.” My buddies have been sharing the ironic joy of Trapped In The Closet with people via YouTube for years, all while The Room has shined as the crown jewel of ironic appreciation and Rocky Horror Picture Show ingrains itself yet again in a new generation- one that takes their loving mockery very seriously.
In both cases we’re seeing audiences (all of which probably have their own pet rants about what “hipster” means and how it doesn’t apply to them) coming together to laugh and play along with artist of dubious sanity earnestly plying their art. The full press release is below, but this of course joins the Alamo’s distribution of Miami Connection going on as we speak.
Cities like Austin, Atlanta, Houston, LA and many more will play host to Kelly’s hip-hopera as Kelly fans flock together to sing-a-long about adultery and love. The show has done well at events like NYCC and Bonnaroo, and now it will be distributed as a 2k DCP that theaters across the nation can show. Kelly pre-show to create a very unique cinematic experience. I’m not sure where that plan is at, but the first 22 videos are about to enjoy a revival as The Action Pack (one of the programming arms of the Alamo Drafthouse) has put together a sub-titled sing-a-long program that combines all of the original videos with an R.

Kelly announced that the series was coming back, more videos were on their way, and that the story would continue. Each song follows the same medley and features Kelly’s trademark style of stream of consciousness crooning, while the videos literalize the story.Įarlier this year, R. Kelly’s Trapped In The Closet is a collection of songs and music video released in fits and starts from 2005 to 2007, all of which flow together in continuity to tell a story of a one-night stand that goes way way wrong. Von Trier’s fox is wrong it is not chaos that reigns, but irony. And in this case, irony from 2006!
