Description:

We All Sing the Same Song is a video performance by Glenn Lewis that investigates the origins of paradise. Dressed in a loin cloth and holding a spear, Lewis performs three vocal improvisations in the key of A over piano by Hank Bull and Monica Holden-Lawrence. Produced in the Grand Luxe Hall, the thirty-minute performance is subdivided into the sections—"Well Made," "Badly Made," and "Not Made"— which correspond with Robert Filliou’s Principle of Equivalence.

Video documentation is available upon request.
