We are performing our identities at all times, and there is no “true” self beyond such performance.  But some of us explore and perfect this way of being with true artistic brilliance.  Andy Kaufman performed as Tony Clifton, Foreign Man, and a variety of other personas, once claiming that “Andy Kaufman” was the true fake. Andy’s sister, Carol Kaufman Kerman, joins us to tell stories about what it was like to be in Andy’s family when Andy was exploring who he was and wasn’t.  On the eve of his solo show opening at the DePaul Art Museum, we are also joined by DHC Fellow Zachary Ostrowski—a graphic artist, musician, and performance artist who often performs under the personaes of Beverly Fre$h and Mr Midwe$t. The DHC is honored as well to host headliner Alan Abel, the greatest prankster and hoaxer of the past century, who will discuss his life of brilliant cons and put-ons.  The evening also features a live musical performance by world-renowned tenor Luciano Pavarotti (accompanied by the Bach and Beethoven Ensemble).  Come as you are—or as someone else—and ask, “Who am I now?” with the DePaul Humanities Center!
