by Severo Sarduy translated by BARBARA THOMPSON
A young girl dressed in white lies on a bed. She is dead. A child's game has killed her. Sarduy uses ancient and religious symbols to convey the dissolution of the body.
The voices: SARAH BADEL , CAROLE BOYD , JOHN BULL , GEOFFREY COLLINS , DAVID MARCH, VALERIE SARRUF.
