We are experiencing a rejection of language, a crisis of speech. A partial recording of Franz Liszt's “Dante Symphony” performed on the accordion marks the impending expiration of eulogy as the overarching form of political speech. The narrative form and its assignations of power are questioned through classic political speech and the signifiers of well known political figures juxtaposed with the epic autobiography as envisioned by Dante’s Divine Comedy.
