İlhan Mimaroğlu - Immolation scene (1983)

(Brünnhilde leaps into Siegfried's funeral pyre. Valhalla is engulfed in flames. The wretched empire of the gods is no more. The ring is cleansed from the curse. A new era of human love dawns.) One day last year (1982), an unemployed Turkish "guest worker" in Germany, Semra Ertan, young woman of 25, set herself on fire in a Hamburg public square. "Shame on all those who made me fall into such a condition" were her last words, while dying in the blaze. Some poetry she had written universalizes her condition. (Rentner, Sozialempfänger, Schwerbehinderte...Pensioner, welfare recipient, severely handicapped...) Follow two Heine fragments. One, in German, is sung: Die alten, bösen Lieder, Die Träume bös und arg, Die lasst uns jetzt begraben, Holt einen großen Sarg. The old, evil songs, The wicked, depraved dreams, Let us bury them now; Fetch a large coffin. The other, in an English translation, is spoken. Then, it's the silence of darkness. (The fire that consumed her did not cleanse the world from the curse. The citadel of the demons remains untouched. Evil rules as mightily as ever.) İlhan Mimaroğlu (Painting: Francis Bacon - Blood on the floor (Painting, 1986))
