Hallucinations about a Dead Hand/ Interpretative piece
The aspect of Fakery as a response to ISTD brief 2011 which I investigated is that of theatrical scenographic illusion. The piece staged is the work of the Surrealist Luis Bunuel, ‘Hallucinations about a Dead Hand’(1944). The Surrealist movement famously deals with ideas of illusion, hyperreality and dreams, and it has influenced film, writers, philosophers, musicians. This script is a short story based on visual illusion and hallucinations, with an element of horror. I created a typographic interpretation of this text, which is intended to be used as a scenography for a Dance Theatre performance. Music: Vera Reshto (for opening titles).
