In telling the story of a man without a history, this text manages to depict all that cannot be expressed, as if love, real love, demanded a language other than words. Projected as backdrop, Super 8mm images parallel the process of remembering things past and lost. Following informal performance codes, this theatrical work humorously succeeds in delicately and subtly tracing the contours of life’s darker and lighter sides.
