| Description |
Stationed in a shabby provincial clinic where the nurses once worked in antiseptic cleanliness, everything is now disintergrating. Suffering from a lack of patients - in fact there are none - they decide to fill in time by practicing what they have been instinctively trained to do - relieve pain. Partaking of the well-stocked medicine cabinet, their rituals and behaviour spiral wildly out of control, beginning a darkly humorous cycle of pain infliction and pain relief.
Perfomed in a nonsense language "The Hospital" generates a mood of demented, noir-ish madness that's decidedly seductive. |
