Tonight he shares a program of work including: Impetigo (1983), a story of passion and possession in a steamy nocturnal landscape; a painful look at modern realities, Tugging the Worm (1987); the apocalyptic Maxwell’s Demon (1990); Law of (1996), which takes place in a lush garden where lovers meet and an addictive interactive theater called Big Ghost; and Tender Bodies (2003), a sinister yet humorous story that imagines a time when genetic experiments become an elite hobby.
