BRING ME THE HEAD OF JOHN FORD (approx. 30 min) – Confined in an area of 6 X 6 feet squared,
Fid enacts a ritual of mono-maniacal obsession with a classic Spaghetti Western.
Like a director’s commentary gone mad, this one-man and 5 video source performance is both
a humorous and dark meditation on cinephilia and the oedipus complex
on the frontier of culture in the American West.
AntiGONE WITH THE WIND (approx. 30 min) – Mixing densley layered audio sequences including voice-overs,
environmental compositions, 70’s femme-disco pop, battle field effects, and a chorus of barking dogs,
this one-woman live show reveals a girl named Sara who can’t find the center of the room.
Trapped on the periphery of a large room, she performs a psychological gesturing to
an audiobook of romance, fantasy, humor and suffering.
