I Married Wyatt Earp
(Performance. 1998, 1999) Very, very loosely based on the autobiography of Sarah Josephine Marcus Earp. Lucky Pierre tells the true story of the events leading to the showdown at the OK Corral to the music of the Jackson 5 (along with Janet and Michael). Rope dancing, telegraphs, the railway crosses the nation, and Mary is gunned down in a hail of bullets. Joe loses a bar fight. Vince is the crying cowboy. Noah is stoic marshal. A lone vertical breaks the horizon and the brilliant Doc Holiday drinks himself to death. A list of words never spoken by Wyatt Earp is recited. Rosalind Krauss' grid appears on the prairie. Some sort of destiny is being manifested.
