Podcast #130

Mike Daisey had a hell of a time performing at Harvards’ A.R.T. . He had the most bizarre, performance altering event happen to him 5 minutes into his piece. He experienced hate, rage, indecency, and a plain disregard for the value of art, I THINK. Was / is this incident less than it has been made out to be, or is the attention Mike has gotten, attention that deserves its spolight.

Mike addresses this incident in his blog, and how it transpired. He has a video of the incident on youtube (just search Mike Daisey). This is the first time that Mike talks, on the airwaves, about the incident that has left a permanent scar on his craft.
