Luck be a Lady : Alma Enterprises, London, 13 April 2007. Performance. Duration: 45 minutes.

Michael Curren directed me as Lady Luck in this evening of mirror smashing and incantation. I performed chanelling the character of La princesse (La Mort) from Jean Cocteau’s film Orphee. Michael invited Patrick Constable and Bambi from Selfish Cunt to accompany the performance on guitar and drums. I appeared on crutches having been run over by a motorcycle three days before the performance.

Press Release

The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia meaning Friday, thirteen and phobia respectively; alternate spellings include paraskevodekatriaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia and is a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia a phobia (fear) of the number thirteen. The origins of this fear are attributed to myriad sources including the last supper, phases of the moon, the Egyptian underworld and the Knights Templar but contemporary statistics show that the phobia persists in the strangest of ways, increased road accidents and unforeseen catastrophes.

On Friday the 13th of April in the Alma Project Space, Hayely Newman will take on the mantle of Lady Luck to perform a special ritual.

So the question is are you feeling lucky?
