de/re construction

6 minutes 25 seconds video performance by: Hassan Choubassi, Petra Ardai and Galia Eibenschutz
a DasArts Block 19 project, 2003
based on a text by: Heiner Müller "Explosion of a Memory / Description of a Picture" "Bildbeschreibung"

Explosion of a Memory may be seen as a painting, a veil across Euripides' Alcestis, quoting the Noh play Kumasaka, the Eleventh Canto of the Odyssey and Hitchcock's The Birds. The text describes landscape beyond death. the action is optional as its consequence lies in the past, an explosion of a memory in an extinct dramatic structure.
