| Summary |
"Set to the music of Dimitri Shostakovich, this performance was inspired by a short story by Gogol, the 19th century Absurdist writer. This film draws on the cinematic traditions of the musical and the silent film. The performance explores the paradox that the realisation of material dreams can bring about man's destruction. (From Canada, no dialogue)" -- website |
