No idea what the hell is going on with this talk (?) show with Austrian Actionist/painter/multimedia artist Hermann Nitsch, or the Vanna White bringing out his blood-spattered paintings, but if any translators out there can throw us some clues, I'd be curious. Clip forward: Billy Kiely.

















I saw a Nitsche show 20 years ago and never forgot it. It drove home just what petroleum is made of. God bless him.

"Here we have a Tree that was felled." (Painting 1)
"I'm a little scared to show the next painting. A very dramatic painting. A car accident. You don't need to be scared though, everyone survived." (Painting 2)
"What's your next project? What can we expect?"
"For my 70th birthday, which is next year, a museum in Naples will be founded for me. And I'm very proud of the progression Prinzendorf, Mistelbach, Naples."
"Is there a train connection?"

This is a humoristic talk show, where the host is the Emperor, talking with a strange accent as it was used by former emperor Franz Joseph II. Nitsch is showed by the muse the paintings the emperor did of a falling tree etc,
