The Imperial Orgy's street theatre performance protest piece "Our Daily Bread" was presented November 19 in the area of the New York Stock Exchange. "Our Daily Bread" is a comedic social experiment exploring the issues of materialism and liberty in the modern corporate world. 
In the piece, elaborately masked and costumed Orgy members ceremoniously placed loaves of fresh white bread along the sidewalks of the financial district with letters from Satan attached which offered to buy the reader's souls in exchange for the material possessions won through climbing the corporate ladder. When faced with the spectacle, the busy executives looked bewildered. Soon police were called in and bomb sniffing police dogs were put to the task of inspecting the harmless loaves of bread. When passers by asked what the event was all about, Orgy members dryly replied that they were 'distributing food to the rich.' 
Confused businessmen read the Satan letter.  Caeser with police **A special thanks goes out to the friendly people at Wonder Bread for donating a hundred and twenty loaves of bread to The Orgy.** An after event party was held at the Naked Lunch Cafe. During the party, the Fox network television show 'New York Undercover' was filming outside the cafe. Soon the actors and crew of the show had joined the party, and in a small world it was soon realized that a track from the Orgy's new CD (Pale Beyond The Dream) was written for a young woman who works on the show as a casting director.
