One peers through the binoculars of a statue upon the terrain of memory - an area of disaster... Pulling to a closer focus, the catastrophe seems to concern not the world at large but that of a relationship between a man and a woman. This view, too, is a distortion of distance. Closing in on the event, it becomes apparent that there is only one individual involved; that the male and female are aspects of a single psyche. (James Minnis)

Dirt Site is an electronic memory play, inspired by the medieval Bogomil heresy. The stage is the labyrinth of the human psyche. From beneath the fractionated and codified appearances of our urban-technological environment ,the piece evokes a tropical and prehistorical landscape of our past - a devolution from the necortex to the reptilian brain.
