Overview

Life is a steambath and we’re all just waiting for our turn in the stalls. The men’s area in a steambath is a microcosm into which a girl walks, takes a public shower, and then retires, leaving the stage to two homosexuals who do a song and dance in lip sync. After this prelude, a Puerto Rican gives orders to a scanning TV monitor, which result in two car crashes, an act of incest, and a theft in a bus terminal. Some of the wishes he projects are vindictive: giving one area more unwanted rain or throwing a dart into someone’s eye. Some are erotic. A new arrival does not believe that this person has so much power. He himself is a trickster hung up on whiskey sours. There is a scene of transfiguration with beautiful lighting and music to make the audience wonder whether or not this is God.
