Like Dawn to Dust

Vivienne Dick
Experimental : 7' / Avantgarde, Women, Identity

The exploration of the rural Irish landscape through an overtly poetic aesthetic consisting of performance, cinematography and sound. Lydia Lunch, wearing her signature goth make-up and clothes, delivers a monologue whose final words emphasize the circularity of Irish narratives: “the past never dies, it just continually repeats itself.”
