The Dying Wish

Paul has been sentenced to death, for reasons they aren't fully certain of. The two executioners supervise as they await the judgement of the attorney's appeals, which seem to involve an increasingly complex system of bribery and a tangle of fresh accusations. Paul has a final request, a dying wish: to play the piano. The bureaucracy of law and the macabre absurdity of capital punishment are held up to scrutiny in this surreal and incisive black comedy, grounded by glimmers of humanity. An original piece from Kelvin's own Mauro Fazion, The Dying Wish is an eclectic whirlwind of contrasting styles and tones, flourished with poetic codas.
