The Musical Prostitute is a provocative and fantastical journey, through several alternate universes.
One Day Ahura Mazda (The Wise and Forgetful God of the Zoroastrians) looks over his dominions and flock: he finds something odd! On Earth, Simon, a young man struggling with his mortality, free love vs fear of love, community, and medications, is making a list of all the things he is giving up. A ragtag band of musical transcendentalists has formed, to be the harmonious conduit for the voyage. AND…. Somewhere else Freddie Mercury is in a Coma waiting to die.
The Burning Monk Collective has created a piece for the apathetic and long term survivors of the Plague called AIDS. A story about what we lost, gave up and what we still live with. What if none of it had happened? Would our community be the same? What would happen if Freddie Mercury came back from the dead for one night to share his thoughts?
