Work Overview
From the program note of String Quartet: An AIDS Activist's
Memoir in Music.
Tony-ony Macaroni, Parts 1 and 2, are
are my tribute to Tony Carden, my fellow activist in ACT UP. He
was the most playful of any of us, and had the best sense of
humor. He was an actor, had moved from Sydney to New York and was
on the brink of a major career but came back to Australia to care
for a sick friend. All of ACT UP's demonstrations had a
theatrical flair anyway, but Tony brought something only a
professional entertainer could. Once, to protest the lack of AIDS
beds at St Vincent's Hospital, he led an ACT UP protest that set
up a hospital ward, complete with beds, IV drips and nurses on
the front lawn of the home of the Health Minister. Tony made me
laugh.
