Description of Artwork: The Neo-Futurists' Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind. A short play involving one of the performers standing on an American flag and saying the pledge of allegiance
The Incident: Censored by the hosting theater because they were afraid that the theater would be shut down or a protest would occur.
