I had the idea that we would try to make the worst show ever. I thought that any show we put on would end up having some value, no matter how bad it was, and that the inevitability of the good creeping in would provide some resistance so that trying to eradicate it completely would become an interesting problem. And then that very resistance, and the purity of the project, the mortification of the self which it demanded, would ensure that our own effort would be our undoing. I liked the idea that what appeared to be the easiest thing in the world might prove impossible in a way that could reveal deeper truths about the nature of artistic success and failure.
