Cage-video ( as a part of the Tim Jackson's film about the street performers "RADICAL JESTERS")
I stood in a cage in the main hall of the largest Boston railway station ? South Station - during rush-hour. The station was extremely busy with many businesspeople on their way home from their downtown offices. As they passed around my cage I addressed them. Using a wireless microphone my voice was amplified by a speaker system. I talked to them in a serious, neutral voice, explaining why I was inside a cage. I stressed my position to be very painful but fully deserved. I explained to them: "Once there was a reason to keep me inside of the cage all the time because I was an unreasonable critic of the capitalist system." I told them: "That time is over, and now I want to win your trust because I have accepted the capitalist market system and recognize that system to be the best one in the history of humankind." I repeatedly asked for their forgiveness for my past stupidity. I asked them to let me be as free, truthful and honest as they were.
