In the full performance, the monkey-man talks about monkey traps – real and metaphoric. This four-minute excerpt is part of the immersive video/sound environment that builds out of the monkey-man’s monolog. On an old TV, Wild Kingdom’s Marlin Perkins introduces the chimpanzee Mr. Mokes. As Perkins tickles the chimp in a disturbing fashion, the images are projected on the larger screens/black-boards, launching into a haunting montage of pop culture apes and monkeys.
