Barbet Schroeder Q&A
July 13th at 7:30pm
Ibiza, the early nineties, Jo is a twenty-five-year-old music
composer. He has come over from Berlin and wants to be part of the
nascent electronic music revolution, ideally by getting a job first as a
DJ in the new nightclub on the island, Amnesia. Martha has been living
alone in her house facing the sea for forty years. One night Jo knocks
on her door. Her solitude intrigues him. They become friends even as the
mysteries around her accumulate: that cello in the corner she refuses
to play, the German language she refuses to speak… As Jo draws her into
his world of techno music, Martha puts everything she had previously
lived by into question.
