By 1972 The Kitchen was becoming known as a production
and exhibition space, we had visitors daily, sometimes
hourly. There were a lot of productions and life performances,
unfortunately, very few tapes are to be found.
One day Ultra Violet showed up. She had a play she wanted
to produce: The Last Supper according to Ultra Violet.
The script was not really a gospel, actually not much
of a text at all, just a list of possible apostles: (see
after the images)

For the shoot, we had two black/white cameras with a Sony
SEG, which stands for Special Effects Generator, a fancy name
for a simple switcher. It was recorded on a reel to reel tape,
state of the arts at that time. As I remember, the crew consisted
of Woody, me, Dimitri Devyatkin, Joel Gold, Davidson Gigliotti,
Frank and Laura Cavestani.
