Hundeöl
'HUNDEÖL' (DOG OIL) is the story of an unbelievable event, hair-raising and completely fictitious, but so brilliantly fictitious that if you look closely you can see the reality in it. The story comes from the grand master of pitch-black humour Ambrose Bierce, who is as much at home in the ironic-sarcastic tradition of Mark Twain as he is in the supernatural-scary tradition of Edgar Allan Poe.
The director and video artist Uri Urech tells this story in suggestive images that pull the audience along and down: into dungeons, sacristies, taxidermy laboratories ....
Like in a dream (or a nightmare), things are often not clearly recognisable and do not have a definite meaning.
How can we tell a wig from a piece of dog?
Through this obscure world, the childlike Boffer Bings, stricken with a tremor, trembles and fidgets.
In the end, his adult counterpart, finds his missing parents again in an altered form: a happy ending of a special kind.
