Three Tales‹ (1998-2002) is the second joint production by Steve Reich (music) and Beryl Korot (video), following ›The Cave‹. The documentary video opera depicts the 20th century as an age of technological dominion, with its own distinct promises and catastrophes. Each act is named after and describes one of three central events of this technological age: Hindenburg, Bikini, and Dolly – the crash of the airship Hindenburg after its first transatlantic flight in Lakehurst 1937, the nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll between 1946 and 1954, and finally the first cloning of the sheep Dolly in Scotland in 1997. Thus, they depict the growth and effects of technological development during the last century by referring to the beginnings of aviation as well as to the more recent ethical discussions about the future of mankind.

Video artist Beryl Korot uses video montage, film- and interview sequences to tell those three ›stories‹. While Hindenburg and Bikini are mainly depicted through archive material (historical footage, photographs, video recordings of news presenters etc), Dolly employs filmed interviews. The variety of images on the electronically multi-divided screen reflects technological progress. It is significant that Steve Reich too makes much greater use of musical technological developments than he does in earlier works. Original recordings are integrated into the composition and altered through transpositions and / or rhythmical modulations. Apart from ›slow motion sound‹, in Dolly he also introduces ›freeze frame sound‹. It is not simple criticism of technology, but rather the ambivalence of technological developments that is voiced in this work.
