Breytenbach composed this docu-dream during a period of incarceration.
Mouroir (mourir: to die + miroir: mirror) is a ship of thought moving
with its own hallucinatory logic through a sea of mythic images, protean
characters and what the author describes as "landscapes and spaces
beyond death, spaces that have always existed and will always exist." An
Orphic voyage into memory and mirage, through passages between death and
life, darkness and light, oppression and flight, sense and the sensed.
Mouroir.
