Action Hero want to make a Western. They have a cowboy hat and some ketchup. They want the scene where our hero walks into the bar and everyone stops talking. They want the scene where the whore begs to be loved. They want to cheat at cards. They want blood and guns. Everyone will have a moustache. All the bad guys laugh. Dust blows across a deserted street. Music. Together with their audience, performance duo Action Hero will reclaim this chaotic half-arsed Western as our own and celebrate the failure of generic heroes, cheap whores and the all American idol. Action Hero are Bristol-based artists making live art and performance. They are Arnolfini Associate Artists and members of Residence, Bristol.
