Certain forms of creative expression are ephemeral: that is, they exist for a specific time, only temporarily, and then are gone. Most often, these forms are found on a stage, such as dance, theatre, or live musical performance. I sing without hope on the boundary explores the relationships between two of these creative outlets. The visual: manipulated shots of a live musical performance. The audio: selected dialogue from the play "4.48 Psychosis" (2000) by Sarah Kane. However, these creative forms are presented through video and audio recording-- arguably non-ephemeral forms. Additionally, certain segments from "4.48 Psychosis" are displayed through text on the screen; text (as in a script) maintaining a permanent existence, long before an opening night and long after a final curtain call.
