A Tragedy; Re-Written (2015-17)
Video duration 11.06m

The video and related performance tells the story of a Romani family working in Oslo by re-writing the Vladimir Mayakovsky play A Tragedy from the 1930’s.  In the video fragments of interviews with the family are merged with sound to highlight the emotions tangled within their lived experiences between Norway and Romania. 

The work ultimately explores the tragedy of discrimination and its emotional impact. The bodies falling through the screen spell fractured words.

The live performance version of this work uses spoken script and live chello.
