"Les personnalités fabuleuses années 1980 à New York"

Ron Vawter, Performance Artist

Ron Vawter playing Jack Smith in "Roy Cohn/Jack Smith"

Ron Vawter was the quintessential downtown performer and a founding member of The Wooster Group, an internationally known theater collective based in NYC. He brought to the world of the avant-garde a unique combination of life experiences, including training as a Green Beret in the US Special Forces and his work as a chaplain. In the words of the Village Voice, “Vawter’s resolution of the tensions between theatrical passion and military precision….have not only helped make the Wooster Group a controversial and intellectually assaultive ensemble but Vawter himself a legendary and explosively controlled actor.”  In 1993, Vawter, who also appeared in films like Swoon, Philadelphia, Silence of the Lambs, and sex, lies, and videotape, wrote and peformed in his final play, Roy Cohn/Jack Smith, a one man show in which he explored the themes of sexual identity through these two infamous men, both of whom died of AIDS. Vawter died one year later on a plane from Zurich to New York, of an AIDS-related heart attack, at the age of 45.

The lyrics to "The Miserable World Song"

Well you're giving me some love back

after I've given you a little love

It makes me want to believe

I believe there is something better in this world

than what I've been given

and what you've been given

So keep on pluggin' and someday you'll get it.

'Cause we do believe, we do believe

The Gods are good, we do believe

They love us, they guide us

and when we're wrong they chide us

And if we're good and do what we're told

We'll never have to come back to this miserable world.

If you say your prayers at night

and perform sacrifies

if you say hello, and pretend that you don't know

If you make yourselves pretty

Take off those socks girls, put your knees together, both feet on the floor

...some things I can't hear!...

'Cause we do believe, we do believe

The Gods are good, we do believe

They love us, they guide us

and when we're wrong they chide us

And if we're good and do what we're told

We'll be happy

We'll be happy

We'll be happy.... happy.... happy.... happy

When we're dead!

Go to 1:37. This is Ethyl just before he died - days, in fact. Speaking about political cuts to arts funding due to homosexual content.
