Description
Video: The remix of President George W. Bush's 2005 State of the Union speech is set to Richard Wagner's Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde, a tale of two lovers who suffer a fateful embrace with love and death. In Bush's speech, a mother whose son died in the Iraq War embraces an Iraqi woman who had just voted in the recent election. It is an equally fateful moment of love and death staged in the grand theater of American politics. (source: http://www.zakros.com/projects/season/index.html)
