THEATER?HANDWOVEN CONDOMS

  THE HANDLOOM

"Well, I am often begged: "Please, carry a hand loom with you, what a performance would be!" I abhor funeral commemorations of old crafts, so I avoid to carry any old fashioned tool: I come with a BIZARRE HAND LOOM made of scrap iron (I built it with modern discarded materials). I presumed that Pupazzi Pallici (Ballic Puppets) by Patrizia MELANDRI were missing something, so I asked M. Berg to present to me a bunch of his Harlekin. I card some wool in public, fill condoms with it and weave all."
