EVE OF DESTRUCTION

On an empty improvised stage in a garden, a cat, a cd-player and a potted sunflower are waiting for a kind of Elvis lookalike. Arrived on stage, the performer acts as if the sunflower is a microphone and sings over the number Eve of Distruction, written by P. F. Sloan in 1965, but best-known in the Barry McGuire's version. Obviously, a rock'n'roll ceremony ends by smashing the instrument!
