Zero Patience

Retrospective, CA 1993, 101 min., engl. OV

By: John Greyson

With: John Robinson, Normand Fauteux, Dianne Heatherington, Richardo Keens-Douglas, Charlotte Boisjoli

In his garishly black-humorous HIV/AIDS musical, John Greyson does away with the eternal search for the guilty ones and convenient scapegoats as well as with the moralistic reinterpretation of sick people as virus carriers: The Victorian adventurer and sexologist Sir Richard Francis Burton is 170 years old, after an “unfortunate encounter” with the fountain of youth. He lives in Toronto and is looking for a central exhibit for an exhibition in the Hall of Contagion of the Natural History Museum. He comes up with the idea of presenting the Patient Zero hypothesis, according to which the promiscuity of a single gay man is responsible for the worldwide spread of HIV/AIDS.
