Psychedelic Nightclub Show Shocks Walloomsac Crowd
At Five Flys in Walloomsac New York a new weekly show Abstract Nudes Vision Illusion used two color slide projectors to flash 160 slides while two go go dancers performed in front of a bright backdrop. The act, rumored as Vision Nudes or Abstract Illusion, drew mixed reactions as lights and costumes clashed with the dancers. The piece drew attention to the lighting effects and the shadow of the performers more than the performers themselves, with some viewers unhappy with the visuals and others intrigued by the techno stage art. Burial details for Mary Conway and military dispatches from Vietnam follow in the next column.
