Masque, an unusual play that
Inoks at nuhlic reaction"; to nlaoncs
and plague victims throughout
history, will be presented at 8 p.m.
today at Booker T. Washington
Auditorium.
Several USC health education
groups are sponsoring the play, hoping
to increase understanding of the
degradation and harm society inflicts
upon itself by attacking AIDS victims
rather than the virus.
"Masque forces us to evaluate our
feelings," said Fransisco Sy, an
epidemiology professor, lhere is a
pp-allel between how the actors react
to plagues in the play and how people
react to AIDS."

New York's Hugo Largo, one of
the most original bands to ever perform
in Columbia, will be back
Thursday evening at Rockafellas*
nightclub in Five Points.
Those who saw the band this past
September can attest to the band's
subtle hypnotism and ethereal
A rhythmic pulse.
Lead vocalist Mimi Goese com
bines elements of performance art,
mime techniques, spiritualism and
pure flirtation to captivate the audience.
Her spell is accompanied
musically by the driving dual-bass
beat of Tim Sommer and Adam
Peacock. Winding in and out of the
bass and chords is a haunting electric
violin played by Hahn Rowe.
The band's four talented artists envision
delivering a brand of music
evolving independently from all
known rules governing rock 'n' roll.

Sy, who is also director of the
Carolina AIDS Research and Education
Project, said, "Masque forces us
to examine our reactions to AIDS.
With music and drama, the play will
appeal to a college audience."
Seen and not heard
Actually, the term AIDS is mentioned
only once in Masque, a twoact
play written by Charleston resident
Steve Lcpre.
The first 10-minute act, "The
Bells," draws from the poem of the
same name by Edgar Allen Poe. It's a
choral adaptation that uses chants,
drones, hums and wails over a

Sommer, who co-founded the
band with Goese in 1984, wanted to
put together a sound that was an
alternative to what he calls "the
30-year-old concept of what a rock
band should sound like."
Sommer told the Washington
Times that Hugo Largo really is rock
music, just a different breed.
"The tyranny of the guitar-bassdrums
rock 'n' roll band is hopefully
ending," he said. "I'd like people to
see that you can make rock 'n' roll
music that is still completely rock 'n
roll music without having to resort to
a format that's twice as old as many
of the people playing it."

who also dirccts the play. "Recently,
I've watched many so-called Christians,
people who are ordinarily very
compassionate, rail against AIDS

"The play is really not about
AIDS; it is about this never-ending
human effort to hide from plagues by
blaming the victims. And it is applicable
to today," he said.
