Three Unnatural Acts

Synopsis:
Three Unnatural Acts: A theatrical response to the lives of Karen Ann Quinlan, Charles Lindbergh and Son of Sam. "Zigun's free-floating imagination . . . weds expressionism with the American comic book . . . the klutzy Bruno Hauptmann . . . kidnaps the Lindbergh baby, who is an egg. He drops the egg as a symbolic, accidental murder. His execution is staged by having his feet plunged into the aquarium and his hand in an electric toaster. That should give you some idea of the Zigun style" . . . Los Angeles Times.
