Description

We took two texts that were talking about the Spanish Flu situation in 1918, one a fictional letter from F. Scott Fitzgerald quarantined in the South of France (written by Nick Farriella in March 2020 in the style of a parody; see: Link), the other describing the actual symptoms of the pandemia of 1918 quoted from the book Krankheit und Tod 1918: zum Umgang mit der Spanischen Grippe in Frankreich, England und in dem Deutschen Reich by Marc Hieronimus.

Lara started with a recording of the texts, Jacek reacted on the recording of her voice with an improvisation on electronics and objects.
