Nitsch’s Performance

In 1978, the Austrian artist Hermann Nitsch (cf. his museum in Naples) visited Los Angeles.
He asked for some collaborators for his very loud (about twenty horns blasting), and very bloody performance/theater piece.
Back then, I had been immersed in Artaud’s writing…
I volunteered.
What remains is this picture by the artist Kerry Colonna.
