| Two televisions sit in chairs on either side of a table. The talking heads on each screen turn and speak to each other in rhythmically synchronized patterns.Napoleon, on the left screen speaks only in the past tense. | The right screen speaks only in the future tense. They talk of Napoleon's advance, taking, and ultimate retreat from Moscow. players: david Warrilow & poppy Johnson. 30 mins. 1975 |
