CGiii Comment

The second movement of Bach’s Orchestral Suite n. 3 in D major accompanies three long takes, punctuated by words referring to sexuality, of naked women and men inside a room, alternating with three other long takes en plein air in which off-screen voices tell of sexual encounters in great detail.

Blue Streak, one of Mark Rappaport's first works, is a declaration of intent, a programmatic manifesto by an author who challenges the clear-cut distinction between: high culture and low culture; courtly, medical, scientific language and informal, slang, vulgar language; masculine and feminine; human and animal. And at the same time it is a very personal and subversive reinterpretation of the “blue movie”. An invitation to always take in mind that what you are looking for may actually be found in the most unimaginable places.


There was a trailer...but, it has since disappeared.
