PROPHETIC DEAD CHILD:
"I saw an angel: He was sailing in the sun,
diving slowly as if in a sea of honey, and he came down and whispered to me: "Oh little lambs, silent screamers, oh. my tender, impatient dead, a tiny error was made in the inventory and now it's final: one more child." |
||
| | |
|
(a silence of disbelief)
|
||
| | |
|
"That's what he told me. 'Rest just a little more
Only one more child." |
||
| | |
||||
|
(From "The Child Dreams" by Hanoch Levin, scene 8 (Requiem)

Gottfried Helnwein in einem Gespräch mit Peter Nedoma, dem Direktor der Galerie Rudolfinum in Prag
April, 2008: |

|
"Die Entdeckung des Theaterstückes "The Child Dreams" von Hanoch Levin war ein Schock und eine Epiphanie für mich, denn noch nie war die künstlerische Arbeit eines anderen so nah an meinen eigenen innersten Bildern. Es ist als hätte er dieses Stück ausschliesslich all den Kindern gewidmet, die bisher in meinem Werk aufgetaucht sind - und all jenen, die noch kommen werden."
