The Hyperbolist This performance of The Hyperbolist was filmed at The Solarium in Chicago, April of this year-- starring my favorite puppet, Punctilio. Allison Daniel-- with her inimitable intensity-- plays The Rag. Great performances from all that night. Brilliant stuff. Thanks to everyone at The Solarium and thanks for the gracious videography by RJ Buckler.
A sampling of my 20 second films for the Kinetoscope exhibit, Short Sighted, (October 29, 8pm-10) at the Smart Museum, University of Chicago. 1. Punctilio vs. Mankind 2. Victoria Victoria; Victoria is a puppet I created and performed with for Lisa Dillman's The Walls, produced by Rivendell Theatre Ensemble at the Steppenwolf Garage, Chicago, in May 2009. 3. The Legs 4. The Shut-In

Leftovers that never made it into a show.
The plastic bag I had originally wanted to include this clip in the film segment of In Absurdum-- just after The Rag is killed by the clown-thugs, however, it struck me as too obvious a symbol and a bit too ripe. I still like the film ending with The Rag's murder-- and the clown-thugs tossing the "Love" sign back and forth as they leave the scene. It also gave the live performers-- myself and Allison-- a springboard to perform the last tragic monologue of the piece. Which is ripe enough as it stands.
