Russian anarchist and philosopher Peter Kropotkin’s 1892 critique of capitalism, The Conquest of Bread, is the inspiration for this special May Day choral performance, featuring an eclectic assortment of singers—grassroots organizers, professional vocalists, wayward performance artists—to vocalize excerpts of Kropotkin’s 19th century work and intone his often repeated call: “Well-Being for All!” While Kropotkin’s refrain may seem simple, in a world marked by increasing brutality and unevenly distributed life chances, it continues to prove elusive. This ensemble musical performance takes Kropotkin’s language as its textual material for a series of choral experiments.
