After distinguishing himself as the world's most artful Billie Holiday channeler (suck it, David Sedaris), gender-bending performance artist Joey Arias celebrated the new millennium with an extended run with Cirque du Soleil and an award-winning theatrical collaboration with acclaimed puppeteer Basil Twist.
