Politicians
April 27-30, 1995 at Performance Space 122, NYC
Performed by: Newt Gingrich, Scott Heron, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Annie Iobst, Audrey Kindred, Jennifer Miller, Jennifer Monson, and Cathy Weis with members of the audience
Politicians is one of Weis’ interactive pre-show events that lets the audience in on how the technology they're about to see works. As they look into the camera, the images of their faces merge with the pre-recorded faces of politicians, The Three Stooges, cartoon characters and talking heads.
