ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
A cargo box is delivered to the Russian funeral home. It is Cargo200, the name for military dead. The two undertakers inform the widow that the body has arrived and get ready for their usual work. But this, it turns out, is no ordinary dead man, because he died in a war that doesn’t exist. Denied by the state in this way, the corpse disappears from the coffin and the widow sees no need for a burial. The two undertakers are not deterred by this, however.
