- DirectorChris HaringMara MattuschkaStarsStephanie CummingLuke BaioKatharina MevesFilm art by Mara Mattuschka (BALL) and Chris Haring that explores the body in subtle, ambiguous images. A stage, marble columns, the red curtain closes: The game of five figures ensnared in erotic innuendos is more appearance than reality. The pornographic poses can be interpreted as sexual by the shadows they cast. In the glowing light, they are actually five protagonists warming up for a night in the Burning Palace Hotel. Precise physical work with the body has seldom experienced such a condensed cinematic counterpart as it does in Mattuschkas/Harings new film. From Paris is Burning to this Burning Palace: its just a stones throw. (Andrea B. Braidt)
