Ireland | 2011 | 82mins | Beta | Black & White
On August 14th, 1937, the French poet, Antonin Artaud arrived in Ireland. He had with him a walking stick he claimed to be St Patrick’s staff. His declared intention was to return this item to its rightful keepers. Six weeks later he was arrested while trying to gain entrance to a religious house. No other records of his journey remain except for an unpaid lodgings bill and some postcards sent from Galway. The Door Ajar uses an assembly of Artaud’s writings as the structure of a possible account of that lost time.
