Singspiel (2009)

“Ulla von Brandenburg’s Singspiel (“song-play”) was filmed in one single shot at Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, following actors in a deceptive track through the house. In each space, a character performs a gesture or movement. The dialogue between the actors is performed by singing a collection of partially connected sentences. The title, which refers to an opera/operetta-style German musical drama, heightens the tragic and uncomfortable sense haunting the work.”
