This three-day cycle of public performances took place across various locations in Chicago. Conceived and planned by Claire Fischer, the performances follow two of her hired stand-ins delivering a monologue, written autobiographically by Claire, for two hours each day.

This work is part of The Death of Myth-Making, an ongoing series of monthly performance cycles by Claire Fischer in which each successive cycle introduces an additional stand-in for herself.
