About the Program

Margaret Dragu's LADY JUSTICE GOES BUZZ-BUZZ is a 3 hour durational performance about public/private grief and unspoken desire for justice/revenge. I shall perform on a raised platform or stage with an ironing board and steam iron. I shall immerse hankies in dishpans of salt water (representing tears), wring them out, iron the wet/salty hankies, then hang/drape them on a chair. I shall use a bottle of red wine (representing blood) with the hankies. I shall dance to music from my ghetto blaster employing yoga-warrior poses with my Sword of Justice and Scales of Justice. I shall perform other art-aktions with ice, a silk red blindfold, and padlocked chain-belt. Random narratives shall be read by audience members in karaoke style voice-overs that shall play over speakers.
