Video documentation of the performance Crazy for Life at the Bessie Schonberg Theater on June 10th 1990.
Jimmie Durham sits on stage and reads from a book, saying and singing things in many languages, including racist songs about indians. Crazy for Life is – says Durham during his performance – the title of the biography of Crazy Horse, a war chief of the Sioux Indian tribe in the United States.
