Description: THE PROCRUSTES TRILOGY was initiated in 48 A.H. with Procrustes In Situ. Throughout the following five years my preoccupation with this monster of the Thesian myth became obsessional. Threading back through the eternal Now of Procrustes In Situ, two events emerged to illustrate Procrustes at his most extreme...two acts of holocaust: Oratorio, an event knotted in linear time during the Nazi persecution of Jews, and Martyrs of the Cities of the Plain, dating back to the prehistory of biblical time. Both events live on politically, socially, and psychologically within the Now. By dating the Now from the Third Holocaust, which occurred at Hiroshima on the sixth of August, Nineteen Hundred and Forty Five, the Trilogy becomes a play in four acts. The fourth and final event will be the Fourth Holocaust. There will be no fifth. There will be no other.
