Synopsis
Austrian writer and dramatist Peter Handke set out to capture the essence of his mother’s life and chronicle the painful spiral that swept her into a darkness which would lead her to take her own life at the age of 51. Simultaneously Handke’s reminiscences are illustrated by a seamless film projected above the stage, while being created live on the stage by performers and camera operators that scurry industiously around the intricate stage floor setting up shots, performing actions, creating dislocated close-ups, taking down and moving cameras and rostra.
