My very special thanks go to Barbara, Bernhard, Bryan, Dieter, Raphaela and, above all, Jay, for never giving up on me. Last but not least I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my parents, who not only afforded me with the education and financial support to pursue my academic studies, but who also never stopped encouraging me to follow my dreams.

It is hard to tell whether the ramshackle stage is inside or outside but it appears to be set up against a wall made of corrugated metal. All else is black. The camera cuts to a close-up of the curtains, which are parted to reveal a pale young man with crow’s nest hair wearing a sequined tuxedo and a skewed bow tie. The man holds a lit cigarette and behind him, overseeing proceedings, is a large statue of the Virgin Mary. As the man with the crow’s nest hair walks fully through the arch he opens his mouth and sings the words ‘As the snow flies, on a cold and grey Chicago morn another little baby child is born…’. The song continues with the singer alternately shuffling as if embarrassed by the attention of the camera and then holding his arms aloft in declamation or fixing the viewer with a steely gaze.
