“Weit.Way.Land, a cool and witty production combining Schnitzler’s Undiscovered Country and David Lynch’s Lost Highway, which can still be seen at Vienna’s Off Theater through the end of January.”

“On August 14th 1937 the French poet & theatre theorist Antonin Artaud arrived in Ireland. He had with him a walking stick he claimed to be St Patrick’s staff. His declared intention was to return this item to its rightful keepers.
Six weeks later he was arrested while trying to gain entrance to a religious house. No other records of his journey remain except for an unpaid lodgings bill and some postcards sent from Galway.”
Patrick Jolley´s film The Door Ajar (2011) uses an assembly of Artaud’s writings as the structure of a possible account of that lost time; currently on display
@ Dublin Contemporary (until 31 October 2011).
