Kampf des Negers und der Hunde (Black Battles with Dogs)

Gotscheff takes the text and turns it around; he makes of it an extremely amusing and deceptively light swan song to our images and ideas of the exotic and of colonialism, of foreignness and exploitation. And whereas he usually delights in blasting capitalism, or the U.S. in general, here the most splendid ambivalence prevails through long stretches of this production which is rife with slapstick and comedy. Gotscheff takes the projections, the images we have of each other and reveals them for what they are: ideals, delusions, illusions, lies. And it is, of course, first and foremost ourselves we are deluding with cheap, comfortable truths.
