[syndicate] Droste and Berber in rehearsal

[Alan Sondheim]

Droste and Berber in rehearsal
never before released footage from the original production
with new tabla accompaniment especially commissioned
by the hairs of Droste and Berber
cut off from the bodies of Droste and Berber
as well as accompanying avatars created from cloth and wire
held in suspension creating a perfect framework
for this first time and perhaps only this time
a framework where Berber first sadly languished
then rose to the occasion of Droste's bizarre accompaniment
this silent film direct from the Weimar era
salvaged from numerous bunkers of works of tired cinema
lay sadly in shadows where reels of film were found
presented now almost in their pristine original condition

the hairs of Droste and Berber were tangled sadly
among the reels where memories of Droste and Berber
languished among the clubs of old Berlin
