The Uncensored Lydia Lunch: A Discourse on Sex, Money, Politics, and the American Way of Life

 

The Uncensored Lydia Lunch: A Discourse on Sex, Money, Politics, and the American Way of Life was a one-evening solo performance deriding the American political system, specifically Republican repression. Lydia Lunch played the part of the all-American girl-next-door who moves into the White House and begins a one-woman campaign against the president. Dripping with irony, Lunch’s biting satire critiqued political and emotional realities. In the program accompanying the evening’s performance, Lunch sarcastically remarked: “Thanks to the American Government.” An eight-minute melodramatic stream-of-consciousness poem written and directed Emilio Cubeiro titled “Mr. Officer, Sir” opened the evening.
