Apart from all the very colorful bits, it is imagination; this is how we create a history.”Performed on a relatively sparse stage at the Zero Arrow Theatre, the show frequently transitions from the Ceausescu’s “kangaroo court” trial to their delusions.

In that moment, Godard commits a cardinal sin of storytelling: he has made the viewer fall in love with a character beyond all reason, and, with just as little reason, rips her apart like a paper doll.But the dichotomy created in this moment—that of beauty in life contrasted with beauty in death—is hardly the most important of the concerns that Godard brought to his films during the time generally accepted as his creative peak...
