Описание: Political funerals were public processions of AIDS victims held by ACT UP during the early 90's. Artist Tim Bailey's march resulted in a riot with his AIDS ridden corpse being dumped on the White House Lawn. That was his original wishes but ACT UP hadn't planned on carrying it out. They told him they loved him to much to do such a thing. The police and White House security cards tried to prevent the legal and peaceful procession. Their interference resulted in a heroic uproar by activists. Theodora Skipitares' asked me to write and perform a piece inspired by this account. It was part of her play, Under The Knife, The History of Medicine and was performed at La MaMa Annex at various runs from '94 -'96. To create the piece, I imagined what Tim might have said had he awaken from the dead for just five minutes.
