Today it is impossible to imagine the world and our understanding of sexuality and gender without psychoanalysis. But what if Sigmund Freud had died before its invention? Inspired by time-travel stories, The Early Death of Sigmund Freud imagines the possibility of sending nanobots back in time to implant a brain disease in Freud before he invented psychoanalysis. While the nanobots go about their business inside Freud’s skull, we watch a list of key moments in Freud’s life and when best to kill him.
