Performance Script

 

Here is the exact copy of my working script:

 

A Handful of Dust

 

Audience Enter to the sound of Jerusalem and church lighting. The performer is standing at a table with Doritos and wine saying “Help yourself”. Once the audience has sat down the performer stands behind the lectern as the lights dim and the first section of the evangelist vid plays.

– First section of Video

The lights return to the way they were before the video.

 

Performer –

I am the bee’s knees from a time deceased

In a time diseased with easy sleaze

Never pleased

But free to see the remedies

When the thieves and Caesars say all of these are

The disagreeing and displeased

Who must be tweezed from societies

Only the free measly diesel sniffing weasels

Cannot believe the message received

From the sweat soaked easel

Zealots reveal whilst truth’s reviled

As vile spiel covers the miles

Now Jesus G-strings crease to please

And pay the fees for crap TVs

To watch with E or what you need

Before you’re seized and lose your lease

On this appeasing feast of wheezing beasts

Led to lie and fed only lies

By diehard fans of the try hard man

 

Lighting change to dim and Spotlight, performer enters the spotlight – Jesus pose.

Blake excerpt plays.

 

Performer –

Castro’s Poncho

The performer shudders, and lighting turns orange/red.

And Ignacio’s nachos

That’s right your Doritos

Are powdered with the Syrian’s bricks//

I eat chilli heatwave to feel a

Sickly-sweet rave:

Over-sleeping and over-eating

If only we could eat those too.

Obesity and obese cities

The planet needs a gastric band but

We can’t rely on God’s hand so

Hand-some Maradona will have to do,

Or whatever circus is new//

Bread and circuses

Take our empty kisses and send them back to the sea.

One day soon, the tides of the teratomic moon will swallow us all

With the German-eyes rejoicing.

But for now let’s overfill every part of us

And explode. Leaving only dust/.

 

Dorito Drop. Lighting Dims.

Second vid section

Lighting remains dim, spotlight fades up illuminating outline of body on floor.

 

Performer –

Blind Decisions Made

As

Divine Vison Fades

As

Blake’s Demonic Shade

Takes Shape

 

The Toxic Population

Lighting turns a bilious yellow/green (poison gas).

Seeks

To Spread Their Poison

By

Spreading Soaring Sarin

On

The Earth

 

A wrathful veneer which is washed down with Ethylene

 

Meanwhile

 

Lean Ethyl walks unaware of the despair

With butane in her hair

Looking for an heir to her poison air

Now the once cobalt cobbles have

Even taken to using the styling gum of the

Human race

Racing

For a place to sit

And caffeine to sip

With swollen botulinum lips

For a dim mind to be lit

 

Now the desolate seraphim falls

And on the angel’s soul we build nothing

 

Green lighting disappears.

Disco ball spotlight

Third vid section (during static section of the video the lighting should turn grey – no longer disco ball – and strobe at 100, when static ends light remains grey, no longer strobing).

 

Performer –

Is yet to come!

 

Performer leaves. Spotlight remains on angel outline and Jerusalem carries on playing (or starts playing at 2 minutes 42 seconds)
