Synopsis


Ada Kaleh explores the loss of a collective experience and memory through the destruction of place. Whilst not strictly based on the historic events of the submersion of the island of Ada Kaleh itself, the poem takes the island - along with its mysterious and tragic history - as a symbol for the things lost as we try to recall the past - a place inevitably fractured by the fault lines of memory and subjectivity.

Accompanied by the striking illustrations of Alice-Andrea Ewing, Ada Kaleh confronts our addiction to the impossibilities of accurate remembrance, in tones comical, erotic and, even, momentarily triumphant.
