Penthesilea (Pathology)_ TEASER

Teaser of "Penthesilea (Pathology)" by Evy Schubert. HD, 8:42 min, Berlin, 2011, German with English subtitles. The video performance „Penthesilea (Pathology)" deals with the play Penthesilea by Kleist whereas the setting is based in a sanatorium on the countryside. The myth floads in timelessness, illusion and reality, in a setting where a woman with the diagnosis ‚Penthesilea' solely counteracts herself. Six abstract and almost photographic scenes create the frame for the course of disease within this cinematic interpretation while using symbolic means in order to reveal the essence of a personal and pathological destiny. VOCALS AND PIANO: Jan Kersjes. SOUND DESIGN: Alexander Schubert. MUSIC TITELS: An die Freude (Beethoven/ Schiller); Heidenröslein (Schubert/ Goethe). THANKS TO: Family Landscheidt, Kuschkow, Werner Eng, Anna Gehren, Jörg Wilkendorf and to the sound department of Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz Berlin.
