Stacy Makishi  

A solo performed by Stacy Makishi with live sampling by Will Munro, The Making of Bull: The True Story is inspired by the Coen brothers’ film FARGO. It is about what’s real and what’s fake. It’s also about how we make art and how our art makes us. Disorientating and uplifting, this uncanny tale revolves around a kidnap, an unrequited love, a lost ransom and a woman frozen in the snow.

“It is theatre, it is bullshit. And I eat it raw because what Stacy Makishi does is very hard to do in performance. You often see folks trying - hard - although it is not easy to get it right. But Stacy Makishi is on the bull's-eye. And I will bet you dollars to donuts everyone thinks so, I mean, she is a bluestocking and she is obsessed with Steve Buscemi”
