The Stalker
A psychological thriller employing illusions both physical and possibly imagined.
The video is from a live performance at L.A.’s House of Blues. Keith and Sharon were featured as part of The Move to Groove Ball, a performance series in the 1990s that mostly featured dance. You might say this performance changed people’s conception of what mime was.
