Cut Piece (2003). Sept 15, 2003 at Theatre Ranelagh, Paris, France. Following the political changes through the year after 9/11, I felt terribly vulnerable - like the most delicate wind could bring me tears. It was as though everything I believed in was rapidly melting away, while I continued walking still carrying my beliefs. The front page of the papers and the TV news were feeding us what they wanted to - assaulting our senses. Men without faces were at work. Force and intimidation were in the air. People were silenced. I always thought I wanted to live forever, that I was one person who was not scared of doing so. But would I want to live surrounded by this world as we know now? Some people went to Palestine to act as human shields. That really touched me. If all of us stood to become human shields instead of machine gunning each other… My immediate thought was to join them. I almost did, and didn’t. Later, the world heard of the death of Rachel Corrie. She made her stand for all of us. Cut Piece is my hope for World Peace. Because today is a very special day for me. Like every day. And I’m determined to cherish every moment. When I first performed this work, in 1964, I did it with some anger and turbulence in my heart. This time I did it with love for you, for me, and for the world. My body is the scar of my mind. I’ll see you. yoko 6d marlola You inspire me with each post, yoko!
