Mourning and Melancholy: the Interview Project

'Mourning and Melancholy: the Interview Project' was developed by Jeff Casey and Cecilia Eloisa Leon. Quite simply this is a performance piece in which individuals are asked questions about death, grieving and related subjects. Individual audience members are invited to set opposite the interviewer and answer questions, usually one. Each interviewee is asked a different question and are given the opportunity to ask the interviewer questions as well.

The Interview Project was performed as part of the Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison 4D Art Show on Nov. 4, 2011. The performance was abruptly, and comically, cut short by a fire alarm. No one was hurt.
