The Ancient Device

This is the story of a dysfunctional band of players on their way to give a performance. Who they are, where they are and what they are up to, becomes uncertain as the book draws us into the mist, exploring notions of narrative, plot, ‘fiction of the self’, performance as device, ‘myth-work’ and using imaginary landscapes and figures for repair.

Aceasta este povestea unei trupe disfunctionale de jucatori pe cale de a oferi o performanta. Cine sunt ei, unde sunt si ce fac, devine incert pe masura ce cartea ne atrage in ceata, explorand notiuni de naratiune, intriga, ,,fictiune despre sine", performanta ca dispozitiv, ,,lucrare de mit" si folosind peisaje imaginare si figuri de reparat.
