Cambodia
Dear Rudy:
I love your show. I was extremely moved by the Cambodia piece, in a
way that I rarely am by anything anymore. The man who spoke it was
brilliant at creating the visual images, which he transposed into
words.
Because I tuned in a couple of minutes after he began, I didn't
realize that it had been done two years ago. I guess part of what
tweaked me was that I currently have a friend (a performance
artist/writer/fimmaker, etc., who teaches improv at USC) on that kind
of a trip all throughout Southeast Asia. Hearing the piece made me
worry for him a bit, so it was a relief to know that things have
changed somewhat. My friend, Eric Trules, has been sending his
friends a series of e-mail letters about his experiences. He's a very
good observer/writer with an interesting point of view. I wondered if
you would be interested in seeing any of what he's written, with a
view toward a similar type of first-person reportage?
In any case my main point in writing was to say how
'headsandshoulders' above any others, is your travel show.
Ira
