Description

Howard Barker's alter-ego Eduardo Houth first materialized as the photographer of publicity images for Barker's theatre company The Wrestling School, one among many fictional identities assumed by him to screen a range of his activities, including set and costume design. Writing about himself in the third person and in the past tense, the result is a unique exercise in self-description.
