“Schmidts Traum”—a play with Escher elements and centered on Schmidt/Morissey, who at this time was still the singer of the British independent band “The Smiths”. A not continuous metamorphosis with birds and rays, ancient Greek bull leapers, an ancient Egyptian procession, which goes over into a movement abstraction, before the metamorphosis is interrupted, which then goes on into a tangle of lobsters, helmeted ancient Greek heads and interlocking abstract fragments, before it goes over into an ordered pile of toy blocks, which in turn adapts to the bird and ray migration.
