Artist Hermann Nitsch at 83 Front Page
A Vienna Actionist
By: - Apr 25th, 2022The Vienna Actionist, Hermann Nitsch, died at 83 on 18 April, 2022. Then in his 20s during the 1960s he and colleagues Otto Muehl, Gunter Brus and Rudolf Schwarzkogler performed actions entailing animal and human body parts and functions. They went for the jugular of conservative/ reactionary, post war Austrian culture. The authorities were not enlightened or amused. Their outrageous stunts were punished by prison sentences from a few months to seven years in the case of Muehl. During the late 1980s I spent a day with Nitsch at his rural schloss and studios.

Fefu And Her Friends Front Page
produced by American Conservatory Theater
By: - Apr 08th, 2022In 1977, María Irene Fornés’ innovative “Fefu and Her Friends” replicated the notion of an all-female cast but flips the script on all of those dimensions. It concerns a reunion of a group of friends gathered to rehearse a presentation to be given to a charity; themes are varied, including women’s relationships with women, which was pretty daring at the time; the single setting is Fefu’s house; action takes place in one day; and the characters, if a little wacky, are grounded in realism.
