The dramatic work Die Hamletmachine by German playwright Heiner Müller serves as a spiritual axis for this attempt to explore the civilization of war, the ruins of modernity, the seamlessness of realism, the loss of promise, and a three-dimensionality that continues to flatten the world. The existentialistic and nihilistic “center” for contemporary humans has been lost and the landscape of Asia is dark and hopeless. How can we swim toward a future of hope amidst the tides of history? Developed in collaboration with performance artist Wang Chuyu of Beijing, together with Wang Ming-Hui of Blacklist Studio and artist Au Sow-Yee – Wang Mo-Lin’s composition, Hermeneutics of Hamlet Machine, constructs a history-time site woven of sound, images and the corporeal body through an experimental pathway of “uncertainty.”
