Johnny Suede es un joven que no alberga dudas sobre su destino: él quiere ser una estrella del rock'n'roll tan grande como su ídolo, Ricky Nelson. Tiene todo lo que se necesita, incluido un gran tupé, pero le falta algo que él considera fundamental: un par de zapatos de gamuza negros. De repente, una noche, como caídos del cielo, aparecen los zapatos de sus sueños a sus pies. A partir de ese momento, su vida se convierte en un torbellino que le lleva hasta su encuentro con Yvonne, una mujer que le enseñará qué cosas son las que realmente importan.
Fisher organized and performed in Emigré, a two-part happening at the Cat’s Paw Palace (September 28, 1974) and offsite at Aquatic Park in San Francisco (September 29). In reaction to the political upheaval of Watergate and the economic precarity of living here as an artist, Emigré was announced as an open call to artists and friends to “emigrate” from the Bay Area. The first evening’s event, “Leavin’ Blues,” described as “dance/theatre/music/restaurant theatre,” prepared performers for the following day with a celebration of the natural migration of living things and natural phenomena. Approximately twenty participants arrived at Aquatic Park with baskets, bundles, cages, and old suitcases. The quarter-mile walk from the western to the eastern end of the park proceeded with everyone taking one step every thirty seconds. The Super-8 film condensed four hours of walking into three minutes reflecting the distorted sense of time and relationship between the ’emigrants’ and passers-by.
