Episode 08: Stories About Policemen
AIR DATES: March 19, 26, 1990
Description:
Three monologues about encounters with authority figures, delivered in intense close-up. Each of the performers wears headphones and hears his own voice delayed and filtered by a “harmonizer” manipulated by a crew member. The performers occasionally struggle to keep a train of thought, distracted by distorted echoes in their headphones.
Juan Luco recounts his run-ins with an authoritarian soccer coach; Joe Winston relates his arrest and strip-search as a suspected terrorist bomber (these were more innocent times!) and John Harriman remembers his high school days as a casual thief, breaking into people’s homes – and getting caught.
Production Notes:
This episode later aired on WTTW Chicago’s Image Union. It featured the first mail sent to the P.O. Box, but it was from Joe’s friend, Jengis (seen in “Enhanced Reality.”)
Cast: Juan Luco, John Harriman and Joe Winston.
Camera and Sound: Paul Pomerleau, Dan Margulies
