Write Your Dreams/Hopes/Fears: L.M. Bogad Performance
In this performance, L.M. Bogad poses as an authority (sometimes bureaucrat, corporate flack, and others).

9/11/11: WELCOME TO OUR REVOLUTION: Testimony From Tahrir. Performance at Pittsburgh’s Mattress Factory
Sunset (7:38pm), September 11, 2011
In Winifred Lutz’s “Garden” at the entrance to the Mattress Factory (www.mattress.org)
$10 (Free for MF Members, CMU, PITT, and PPU students w/I.D.)

He navigates a torture-state in its death-throes, sees babies riding tanks, hears a rumor of “Zionist sharks,” and deciphers ancient Pharoanic hieroglyphic totalitarian propaganda. The piece will begin at dusk, with an ironic/symbolic ritual to Prevent the Sunset.
