An examination on the masculine and feminine psyche-in-crisis.

bring me the head of john ford - approx. 30 min
Confined in an area of 6 X 6 feet square, Fid enacts a ritual of mono-maniacal obsession with a classic Spaghetti Western. Like a director’s commentary gone mad, Bring Me the Head of John Ford is both a humorous and dark examination of cinephilia and the oedipus complex on the frontier of culture in America.
a one-man, one-act production that uses 5 video source projection and live performance to examine the effects of isolation, obsession, and the relationship between fantasy and reality, voyeurism and spectacle, and the male psyche-in-crisis
