Good Hot Chocolate is a display of aftermath and remixed refuse following a performative reading of the play Cheesecake, which was acted in loving collaboration with artist and friend beck haberstroh. For you I am deeply grateful. Cheesecake and Good Hot Chocolate are offered to viewer and participant as tender gifts of absurdity honoring and acknowledging place, history, and community. The adapted script, Cheesecake, was originally written by Robert Patrick and first performed by himself alongside his friend Jeanie Lanson in 1966 at the Cafe Cino. We performed it together five weeks prior to writing this on the evening of March 31st, 2021. With love, Mika
