Samantha Bee. (1969-)
"You have to be willing to ask questions that almost no one else would ask."
Karen Finley: Wake Up!
Karen Finley, the most controversial woman in performance
today, presents the New York Premiere of her latest work
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! is an evening of two thematically
related companion pieces.

The first half is The Dreams of Laura Bush, an illustrated dream journal of
America's First Lady. Mrs. Bush’s dreams alternate between the profound and
the mundane and feature a cast of international celebs and politicians.
Drawings (also by Finley) are projected as a backdrop as the dreams unfold.
Ultimately, the politics of the feminine passive power are uncovered with a
blend humor and unleashed desire in this surreal piece.
The second half is The Passion of Terri Schiavo. Here, a live action ink painting
becomes the abstracted soul projection of a culture obsessed with one
woman's right to die, yet at the same time at war. In this work an oppositional
narrative gives voice to both pro and con, family, stranger and society at large. It
is an impassioned, personal look at issues of dignity in death and the value of
life.
