BeschrijvingThis pamphlet is comprised of a pair of structurally identical plays, each composed by means of chance operations around the time of the editing and publication of An Anthology of Chance Operations by Mac Low with La Monte Young. Each play is made up of five partially improvised conversations in which the dialogue is derived from a highly restricted lexicon: the first uses words made from the letters that spell out the word “Port-au-Prince” to construct nonsensical “pseudo-sentences,” while the second play consists entirely of folk idioms from the titular rural region. The Twin Plays was Mac Low’s first book, originally self-published in 1963.
