WHILE THE GREEN GRASS GROWS

Italian premiere

In seinem audiovisuellen Tagebuch nimmt Peter Mettler Abschied von seiner Mutter und von seinem Vater. In einer stets dialogisch ausgerichteten Suchbewegung über den Lebenszyklus denkt er über das Diesseits und Jenseits nach. Es ist ein ewiger Kreislauf und ein Fließen – wie das fortwährende Vorbeiziehen von Wolken und Flüssen.

Il diario audiovisivo di Peter Mettler è un addio alla madre e al padre. Con una ricerca sempre dialogica volta al ciclo della vita riflette sull’aldiquà e sull'aldilà. È un ciclo eterno e un flusso costante – come lo scorrere incessante delle nuvole e dei fiumi.

In his audiovisual diary, Peter Mettler bids farewell to his mother and father. He reflects on this world and the hereafter in a dialogue-based search through the cycle of life. It is an eternal cycle and a flow - like the continuous passing of clouds and rivers.
