Tragedy disguises itself as play. An anthropomorphic, poisonous, and smiling mushroom takes on the gestures of the Shakespearean prince: he wields a dagger, contemplates a skull, and recites a madness that may only be apparent. The comic and the tragic do not contradict each other, but feed off each other. The work does not seek balance, but friction. And in that friction, it suggests that laughter may be just another form of doubt.
