Legendary local theatre weirdo Greg Dean is known as an actor, director, and designer, often all at once. With Herzstück, he turns his singular aesthetic to film, realizing a project nearly 10 years in the making.
A pair of clownish musicians attempt to perform a duet for violin and piano, but a series of interruptions and distractions leads to gruesome complications, and hilarity ensues in this bleak meditation on the futility of love and all other human endeavors.
Inspired by a 14-line theatrical fragment by the late East German playwright, Heiner Müller, Herzstück is a deconstruction of old, B&W silent film comedies - think Laurel & Hardy meets David Cronenberg.
Herzstück will be available to stream at any time, November 19-January 31. Access to the On Demand recording is free, but registration is required.
