              Advice on how to gain independence and control in the face of the difficulties implicit in human relationships. We live in a busy world and isolation seems to be the only way to escape the buzz of lists, inspirational catchphrases and reminders to upgrade — now! The peace of ignoring the phone may be bliss, but what about when we get what we ask for, and are forgotten altogether? The author mulls over the bittersweet reality of escaping. A video about wanting to be alone and being lonely — a meditation on the cult of individuality and independence in our anxious urban world. Created in 1998, but now feels even more relevant during these current pandemic times.

              The police phoned. They left a message on the machine. They said he was dead. The video unwinds through stories of sex for rent, unclaimed bodies, cigarette burns, and other monuments of life’s long run from wall to wall. Cut the Parrot is three grotesque comedies in one: the stories of Gerry, Susan, and Albert. Songs of hope and heartbreak spill from the mouths of the performers. The order of impersonation rules.
