Two Performance Pieces by Margaret Fisher

Extract

In the performance area are two wooden-frame tents side by side. They are 8 feet square, 6 feet at their apex, and covered with white muslin. The “insect” tent is at the right, tent flaps open, a duplicate miniature tent suspended within the opening. Two flourescent industrial lighting fixtures form a bright “V” upstage on the tent floor. From the opening a clear plastic tube coils its way over to the “scientist” tent at the left. This tent is closed, except for a triangular window centered on its front wall. It is illuminated by a blue light from within.
