Really. What would be necessary to understand it?
Him
Dissolving our borders.
Freight Train to Midnight is a multimedia live performance. An intuitive and improvised filming process results in a multimedia poem.
Late at night and wide awake, a director tries to makes sense of the process and decisions that drove a filming project. The whole thing crossed borders and oceans, from Barcelona to Budapest, via Berlin. The blur of it is like a dream, and absurd meaningless anecdotes influenced central aspects of it.
A character materialises. A deer attempts to sabotage the event. Memories and dreams that came before and after the shoot blend, in a cut-up style combining live performance, video, photography, sound and music. A train ride into a film. Freight Train to Midnight is a show about the creative process. Premiered July 10th 2010 at the Sala d’Art Jove [http://saladartjove.wordpress.com/2010/07/02/el-proxim-dissabte-10-de-juliol-viatja-amb-nosaltres-a-consticon/] in Barcelona.

What is needed
Ideally, the show requires three people. Myself, the actress, and a musician, Benjamin Mahoney that creates live sound to the piece. Technically we require a projector with computer input, a wall to project onto, a small space (2mx2m) in front of the screen, and a 2-4 channel audio mixer for the sound. We need a stool as a prop, and the rest we can bring ourselves.
