This is a virtual realization of Fluxus co-founder Al Hansen's unperformed "Happening" called "Car Bibbe II". In it, a free-form performance score calls for three things - the detonation of a Cadillac, ballerinas doing Barre exercises, and maintenance workers to clean it up for the next round. Text generously provided by Al's daughter Bibbe Hansen, Directed by Patrick Lichty and performed by virtual performance group Second Front (w/ Bibbe Hansen).
