White supremacists plotting insurrection while a rag-tag team of police infiltrate their ranks-the stuff of TV cop shows? Perhaps, but not in the hands of The Wooster Group, New York's legendary theater collective. Organized as eight fragmented stories that eschew naturalistic TV technique, White Homeland Commando (63 mins) delivers the distorted world of hate with its snivelling fanaticism, bomb threats and thuggery. The Group's first full-length video piece is peopled by Wooster regulars, including Ron Vawter and Willem Dafoe, who aptly depict the shoddy denizens of deep bigotry. Not wanting to glorify extremism, WHC employs a skewed aesthetic, sort of post-mod noir, that keeps the commandos within a very human scale. Much of the text is based on non-fiction works such as Hate Groups in America and The Identity Churches. Anti-romanticism surfaces again in Flaubert Dreams of Travel (20 mins), a series of tableaux-vivants about fantasy, sexual obsession, and stasis. The Wooster Group cast ply their ghostly presence in this horror of aural atmospheres. -Steve Seid
