Doing it to Death
GBR 2016 4'30.09 FR 20.30, 01.10 SA 15.00 @Katowice City of Gardens: room 211
PERFORMED BY: The Kills
DIRECTED BY: Wendy Morgan
Wendy Morgan – a specialist in creating music videos which combine humor, rhythm and choreography with very coherent stories – does it again in her video for The Kills, in which she confronts two absolute opposites. Her funeral procession is a unique one: the mourners carry the coffins with a dancing gait, while the particulars of the ceremony are more likely to incite laugh than contemplation. Morgan breaks social taboos by blending death with good fun. To her, one’s final passage doesn’t have to be that grim and serious.
