Menace (Melissa Ghazale)
Notes on "Friendship's Death"

2025 | HEAD | ACT Genève

This performance is a game I’ve created on my desktop. The game is about a barbecue I held on a random day in my childhood house back home. The game consists in choosing any one of the characters present that die, sorry I mean that day, to go through with the narrative. Each throw of dice opens a folder and each pawn chosen opens a file. The game is called ‘Notes on ‘Friendship’s Death’ (the movie) but it’s not about the film ‘Friendship’s Death’, and it’s definitely not about AI joining the resistance like in the film. ‘Notes on ‘Friendship’s Death’ might be about friendship & death But it’s first and foremost about how to historicize the past while it still remains present. In an attempt to put time back in its place. The presentation will be mediation will be performance will be the game. And I? I will be your game master.
