M.31 / K.62 / K.85

performance triptych

“M.31”, “K.62” and “K.85” are performative adaptations of three different films. “M.31” is an ominous musical pursuit based on Fritz Lang’s 1931 film “M”, and his haunting use of Edvard Grieg’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King”. “K.62” is a musical thriller inspired by Orson Welles’ cinematic reworking of Kafka’s “The Trial” made in 1962. Finally, “K.85” is a solo performance influenced by Martin Scorsese’s dark comedy film “After Hours” from 1985. Each performance in this triptych is unique and relates to a classic in film history, with the main actors all being displaced, prosecuted and rejected characters.
