A new videOpera on Jacques Derrida's book "Dissemination."

This first presentation of Guillermo Silveira's in progress videOpera, 
in collaboration with artist Jennifer Cho, is a musical interpretation 
of Dissemination's first five parts on Plato's Pharmacy.

Scored for performer, baritone, piano, organ, 3 videos and audio tape, 
"Deconstructing Derrida," shows two postmodern artists recreating a
book and deconstructing their own artistic ideas.

The first part of "Deconstructing Derrida" was presented at 
Sumner Museum and Archives, Washington, D.C. on October 7th, 1998.
