Description Martin Friedel has created a dichotomy of old and new with his two-act production...in the first piece, Seduction of a General, images of dictatorship - terror, grief and torture on a video screen...the second piece, The Heaven Machine, is a witty
romp through fantasies of video, television and sound, with layered video images, computer animation and striking lighting.
