The Glasshouse

A new multimedia performance by Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten), Paul Browse (Clock DVA) and Danielle de Picciotto

Danielle de Picciotto has finished a new experimental movie about her last night in NYC in 1987 just before she moved to Berlin, Germany. The bizarre and shocking events which took place on that dark evening are not only meant as a personal memoir in her film but as a metaphor for the growing atmosphere of menace which our society has become infiltrated by.The film will be presented for the first time on the 1st of March 2012 at the HBC with an industrial filmscore performed live by the musicians Alexander Hacke and Paul Browse and spoken word by Danielle.

Die Geschichte Ihrer skurrilen letzten Nacht im NYC der 80er erzählt Danielle de Picciotto in Ihrem neuen experimental Film "The Glasshouse". Die gebürtige Amerikanerin zog 1987 von New York nach Berlin und lebt seit dem als interdisziplinäre Künstlerin in Europa . Weswegen sie diesen Schritt unternahm erzählt der Film und die Geschichte ist nicht nur als eine persönliche Erinnerung zu verstehen sondern auch als Metapher für das stetig wachsende Gefühl der Bedrohung in unserer Gesellschaft.
