“Let Me Ascertain You” is back with a new series examining two of The Civilians’ favorite fixations: sex and death. The production features Johannes Grenzfurthner of monochrom. (Well, actually, Johannes was interviewed by the LMAY folks and is performed by one of their actors.)
This first podcast in the series focuses on death as the ultimate turn-on. To start us off, we have Stephen Plunkett performing a monologue from an interview we did with famed porn director Craven Moorehead. Then we have Sam Breslin Wright performing an interview with Johannes, an Austrian who runs an arts/technology festival that buries people alive, aptly named, “The Six Feet Under Club.” Following that, cabaret superstar Lady Rizo performs her original song “Under” which she wrote with Yair Evnine. This song is based on our interview with Kitty, a “Six Feet Under Club” participant who got buried alive with her lover.
