Catalogue Note

first edition. The themes in this third play of the dramatic pentalogy Aslaab Ich’ia are death and resurrection, as commented on by stone statues with an association with the real Easter Island. The play includes a dance in which every step is determined by a syllable, thus making it possible to perform a zaum dance.
