With its roots in movements as disparate as Dada and the '60s happenings, performance art may be described as the 20th century equivalent of 16th century Florentine opera, an attempt to fuse many diverse art forms into a new, coherent whole. In her loft in lower Manhattan, Anderson, the object of a cult following since the mid-'70s, has been working on United States for four years.

What could be more perfectly dramatic than for Elizabeth Taylor, 50, and Richard Burton, 56, to combine their ability to light a fuse with Sir Noel's talent to amuse?
