Reference Performance Mask About "Performance Memorabilia - Red Bull Mask" I read a children's story called 'The Last Unicorn' in which a blind Red Bull terrorises Unicorns and chases them into the sea. The Red Bull has a heightened sense of smell, particularly the smell of fear. This causes it to grow in stature. Lack of fear causes it to diminish. This became one of my anti apartheid performance images. In 1995 I discovered an energy drink called 'red bull'. I was totally astounded! I wrote to the organisers for funding to take my production called "The Come-uppance of Punch" (another of my anti fascist plays) to the Grhmstwn Festival (1999 - which proved to be a disaster anyway!) including with this plea images of the RED BULL in performance, together with a brief history of its 'creation'. They were NOT IMPRESSED and turned down my request (R5,000 - nothing to them, a fortune to me) for sponsorship. With this rebuttal they included three (or was it four?) cans of the stuff! I NEVER drink 'Red Bull' - it's a bit like drinking my own blood! |
