About the Program
Iris Moore's performance from the Chicago Performance Art Series.I have seen things which make me a liar. White lies are the very soul, the very foundation of my existence. I have seen desires spring up where none existed before. I have seen bodies held together by form alone. Beware the glittering creatures in the field, they are but indications of what is in the dark. I sit down at a sumptuous banquet of girls and hear a voice. "Thigh? Neck? Hand? What's your pleasure?" I have news from shattered nerves, from my fingertips and toes, and from between my legs. I speak for the amateurs, the dilettantes, the mediocre, and other extremists. To do less is a great disservice.
