PIERROT IN TURQUISE OR THE LOOKING GLASS MURDERS (1970).


Ένα απόσπασμα 9 περίπου λεπτών από το μικρού μήκους του Lindsay Kemp, Pierrot In Turquoise με τον David Bowie, που είχε αρχικά γυριστεί για λογαριασμό της τηλεόρασης.
Pierrot in Turquoise or The Looking Glass Murders
"The Looking Glass Murders" is an obscure, shot on video, made for Scottish TV version of the mime improv play "Pierrot in Turquoise," which Lindsey Kemp and David Bowie first staged in 1967. Pierrot is a freaky mime who ventures into a mirror where he falls in love and rolls around with the equally grotesque Columbine. But when Columbine beds black stallion (in half-assless spandex) Harlequin, Pierrot's jealousy takes over and drives him to murder. Cloud watches over the proceedings from his perch (on a ladder!) and narrates in song.
"Weird" doesn't begin to describe this one. It begins and ends with a man playing piano, but no sound is emitted. The sparse production doesn't betray its theatrical roots -- there's a grand total of two sets and they make no attempt to disguise the fact they're thrown together on stages.
