This three-day cycle of public performances took place in downtown Chicago and in the area surrounding the former Lincoln Mall in Matteson, IL. Conceived and planned by Claire Fischer, the performances follow one 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.

direction and script by Claire Fischer; performance by Kelly Rose Marry; production by Claire Fischer, Conrad Cheung, and Joel Ruby
