SHOW TiME Festival

he's dead / he's dead / i've shot him in the head
17 June, 5pm, SHOW TiME Festival, Rich Mix London


he’s dead / he’s dead / i’ve shot him in the head occurs in three idiotic movements (all violently moving!). They forcefully annihilate themselves and each other through an enforced rigidity of speech revealing itself in time and imposing on a room that would rather be silent, or elsewhere. Each of the movements is an echo of and commentary on found material – (1) Samuel Beckett’s play Not I in he’s dead [Not I], (2) the question of whether you can kill a man with sound in he’s dead / he’s dead, (3) the Hungarian underground band AE Bizottság’s song Szerelem in he’s dead / he’s dead / i’ve shot him in the head. Objects that Mattered in the Twentieth Century then, but these new performances are just minute and harmless re-presentations distinguished by their huge and shuddering violence.
