ROT
ROT
is an intricate multimedia performance based on characters
and text from Franz Kafka's The Trial. K is accused --
his life is evidence and his fantasies testify against him.
Called to account for his actions and intentions by a nightmare
bureaucracy, Josef K falters before the Law, and stumbles upon
the ugly answers to questions he never thought to ask. With
the fluidity of a dream, ROT follows the descent
of K and reflects the fears/desires that propel us all toward
decay. Film inspired by Fritz Lang's Metropolis and 1940's
film noir interacts with live video, sampled sound, and physical
performance to reshape and re-invent K's reality in his quest
for judgment. |
