Synopsis

The Wake is the title of a large-scale multimedia project, the main element of which is an eight-hour long silent movie. The film is based on Finnegans Wake by James Joyce (London 1939), a limit-transgressing, perhaps even limit-dissolving book that not only transgresses the limits of what literature is and is capable of, but inscribes transgressions on almost all conceivable levels. It is at the same time dream book, history book and necrology. It is almost impossible to determine whether we are dealing with a long poem, a prose narrative or a piece of drama.

This silent cinematic experience evokes a spectrum of emotions, offering a dreamlike atmosphere that feels both ethereal and intimate. Enveloped in a minimalist aesthetic, the film's striking imagery and haunting soundscape create a meditative space perfect for quiet reflection on identity and existence. Ideal for evenings of solitude or when seeking a profound emotional journey, it captures the essence of loneliness intertwined with hope, gently guiding you through the labyrinth of consciousness and memory. As you traverse its surreal landscapes, prepare for a journey that challenges perceptions and ignites the imagination, resonating with themes of dreams, nostalgia, and the fluidity of time itself.
