Brody Condon Does Neuromancer

Brody Condon (b. 1974) will receive a grant through the Rhizome Commissions Program for 2008. Condon's project is "Case" (working title), a performative recreation of the classic cyberpunk novel Neuromancer by William Gibson from 1984.
"The performance will be created in the summer of 2009 at a small rural red barn theater in a public park near Codon's stepfather's trailer home outside Colombia MO.
The main character Henry Drosett Case, a drug addicted hacker hired to complete an impossible cyber-crime, will be played by ex-political activist and infamous local hell-raiser, Ray 'Bad Rad' Radkte.
The supporting characters will be performed by a group of amateur actors from the nearby Baptist Church that produce Shakespeare plays in the park each summer.
The performance will be executed in the deadpan style of the videos of Raymond Pettibone. A distinct lack of emotion will be present and some actors will read directly from the script.
All virtual reality scenes will be accompanied by a live band performing Indonesian Gamalan music, while all cyberspace environments will consist of moving, painted cardboard props."
I wish I could be there.
