Following the narrative of Euripedes' Alcestis - who was prepared to die in her husband's place - it is the story of real people forced to make life and death sacrifices. It combines documentary video and interviews with poetry of religious mystery and passion, performed in the calm austerity of the gallery. The work contrasts the serenity of a capella singing with dramatic vocal and instrumental music.
