Steve Kurtz ist Performance-Künstler, seine Arbeit dreht sich um das Thema Biotechnologie. Seine Arbeitsmittel harmlose Bakterienkulturen erregen in der Terrorfurcht nach dem 11. September die Aufmerksamkeit des FBI. Agenten in Schutzanzügen durchsuchen seine Wohnung. Der Vorwurf: Bio-Terrorismus. Unvermittelt sieht Kurtz sich von einem übermächtigen Staat bedroht, der offenbar um jeden Preis eine Verurteilung erzielen will. Ihm drohen 20 Jahre Haft für den Besitz von Bakterien, die jeder frei über das Internet bestellen kann. Dieser Film ist Teil einer internationalen Aktion, mit der sich bekannte Künstler wie Tilda Swinton und die Residents mit Kurtz solidarisieren. [Mehr] [Weniger]
HOW FORTUNATE THE MAN WITH NONE You saw sagacious SolomonYou know what came of him,To him complexities seemed plain.He cursed the hour that gave birth to himAnd saw that everything was vain.How great and wise was Solomon.The world however did not waitBut soon observed what followed on.Its wisdom that had brought him to this state.How fortunate the man with none.You saw courageous Caesar nextYou know what he became.They deified him in his lifeThen had him murdered just the same.And as they raised the fatal knifeHow loud he cried: you too my son!The world however did not waitBut soon observed what followed on.Its courage that had brought him to that state.How fortunate the man with none.You heard of honest SocratesThe man who never lied:They werent so grateful as youd thinkInstead the rulers fixed to have him triedAnd handed him the poisoned drink.How honest was the peoples noble son.The world however did not waitBut soon observed what followed on.Its honesty that brought him to that state.How fortunate the man with none.Here you can see respectable folkKeeping to gods own laws.So far he hasnt taken heed.You who sit safe and warm indoorsHelp to relieve out bitter need.How virtuously we had begun.The world however did not waitBut soon observed what followed on.Its fear of God that brought us to that state.How fortunate the man with none.MUSIC:DEAD CAN DANCE POEM:BERTOLT BRECHTARTWORK:ALVARO (DOCTOR ROBELTO) [Mehr] [Weniger]
