Dream of a Ridiculous Man

First came the music, which I created during the month of May 2010.

Then came the ideas for the imagery, and the collection and creation of video material.

The visual narrative has been inspired by the short story, "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, which I was going to perform as a monologue on stage, to be directed by a Russian theatre director. The production has been cancelled but I have this little film instead, which bears no resemblance to Dostoyevsky's original.

Thanks to Tatyana Jakovskaya of SHARMANKA for introducing me to "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man", and for believing in me.

CAUTION: This video has NUDITY deliberately obscured because of YouTube's absurd squeamishness regarding naked human bodies. If you want to see the original UNCENSORED version, visit my Vimeo channel;
