Cast: Tzvet Lazar

Based on David Foster Wallace's short story ‘Signifying Nothing’ (2001), Rehearsal aims to examine the complex nuances of his literary language. Foster Wallace’s uses of repetition, his strong sense of the ambiguous and absurd, as well as the intricacy of his American jargon appear even more visible when rehearsed by a Bulgarian theatre actor (Tzvet Lazar). Thus Rehearsal is also a portrayal of a performer at work. Foster Wallace’s story is used here as pretext to portray the elusive nature of personal memory of a (possibly made up) traumatic event.
