Coco Fusco



"Fusco’s work combine electronic media and performance in a variety of formats, from staged multi-media performances incorporating large scale projections and closed circuit television to live performances streamed to the internet that invite audiences to chart the course of action through chat interaction. Her most recent work deals with the role of female interrogators in the War on Terror. Those works include Operation Atropos (a film about interrogation training), and A Room of One’s Own (a monologue about female interrogators). Fusco is currently developing a new performance that explores the “Black Codes” that were established in the Americas after slavery for the 2010 World Congress of the International Drama/Theatre Education Association in Brazil. She is also researching a new project on the experience of incarceration in the United States."
