Adil, Alev (2011) Memory in the dead zone. [Creative Performance or Reading]

Full text not available from this repository.

Abstract

Moving between different pasts, between Cyprus and a host of unnamed cities, Memory in the Dead Zone is both a multimedia retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and autobiographical performance which explores memory and the performance of becoming Cypriot through poetry, myth, home movies, photographs, remembered songs, the imagined spaces of Cyprus on Youtube and the digital detritus of the 21st century.

Memory becomes opaque as the performance makes a story about the mediated evidence that summons memory, the faded images, the home movies marked by multiple translations from super 8 film to video to DVD, remixed pop songs and fragments of film from Cyprus in the 1960s and ‘70s.
