The Cannibal and the Statesman: Rachel Mason Performs Her Karaoke Rock-Opera Film

She was performing along with her…

This is a rare view of the interior of Sing Sing prison's former Death House. Behind the door on the right is the room which electrocuted Albert Fish, Ethyl and Julius Rosenberg among many others.

Today few people would recognize his name upon hearing it — but multi-artform practitioner Rachel Mason was there a century later to note the strange counterpoint between that name and that of statesman Hamilton Fish II, whose obituary appeared on the same front page of a New York newspaper as the notice of the other Hamilton’s execution in 1936. Mason’s mission, over eight years, became to unearth their stories, and those of the people around them; to pay attention to what was untold and spin a story or her own from the pulp of ancient chronicles and the forgotten girl who fell in the woods."

Leonora Piper (1857 –  1950) was a famous trance medium in the area of Spiritualism, the subject of intense interest and investigation by American and British psychic research associations during the early 20th century, most notably William James and the Society for Psychical Research. (Wiki)

In The Lives of Hamilton Fish, Leonora Piper visits Hamilton Fish II  in order to send him a message- that Grace Budd has transmitted to her-  and which helps him to locate the killer.
