Bang Bang goes the socialistic burial rhythm. The Soviet burial cult (dis)mounts the greatest Da- da, sepulchural performance- ceremony that ever was. In the heave-and-hoe and banging- the-drum rhythm of the furious, poetic performance of Akos Szilagyi, Lenin and other commands, generals and secreta- ries-of-state are carried to their last resting place - amidst burying robots and internment machines. And he who dies too late will be punished by Socialism (or was it Capitalism?). Or was Stalin just another frustrated (funeral directing) artist? Was the real Socialism DaDa?
