Dear Damian,
I thought call your attention to our coming production in hopes of arranging an appearance on you show in order to to discuss this alternative and highly controversial installation performance we are now hosting due to Deathwatch’s being now sadly defunct:
With recent unfortunate complications of the production of Jean Genet’s ‘Deathwatch’ it is with a heavy heart that this particular production is being for the moment suspended until such a time that all those involved would be able to commit more fully.
However, in lieu of this performance Random Acts Theatre has negotiated rights to host what will undoubtedly prove to be as worthwhile, dare it be claimed, more unique theatre experience:
THE GOG/MAGOG PROJECT
More than eight years ago, performance artist Alexander Gog (http://www.bigpedia.com/encyclopedia/Alexander_Gog) contractually agreed as a form of social protest and activist demonstration to be caged for a period of one year. During the intervening period, due to the death of those with whom the project began, The Gog/Magog Project continues with its performer having remained detained surviving exclusively on Banana Flavored ‘Moon Pies’.
The Gog/Magog Project has long been a source of controversy, many arguing that the artist should be released despite his initially voluntary imprisonment. There has been a formal enquiry begun by Amnesty International, despite all evidence of the initial projects contract’s being incinerated and Gog’s often staging his suicide during several performances to return again in another venue in another area of the world.
It has caused a stir in its constant international touring and this summer Random Acts Theatre brings to The Barnfield Theatre an alternative theatre experience that cannot (or rather, perhaps should not) be duplicated.
Despite the considerable investment of bringing the show to Exeter, ticket prices will remain the same. Make what ethical assessment you will, The Gog/Magog Project does challenge the notion of artistic expression and the extremes to which one particular artist has taken such an endeavor.
