Several Baylor students will have their clothes cut off at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
The event, in Jones Theatre in the Hooper-Schaefer Fine Arts Center, will recreate Yoko Ono’s iconic performance entitled “Cut Piece.” Interviews, audience reactions and a reception will follow.
Ono, famous for her marriage to John Lennon of The Beatles and for her social activism, first performed the piece in Japan in 1964. Ono remained still and silent while audience members, who were hesitant at first, came up and cut increasingly larger pieces of her clothing off.
