Click above for link to video excerpt of performance Requiem for a Fly (2022). Album also contains stills from performance.

Reqiuem for a Fly was an interactive event, more of a happening than a performance, as viewers were invited to participate in the funeral, held for a fly. I hosted the ceremony, dressed as an insectoid priestess, and after reading the euology and holding a 2-minute wail, mourners sang songs, read poems, and said kind words about The Fly. It was a highly emotional event.
