Sampled and sourced from Wagner’s herculean oeuvre, THE ALL-FATHER – Side One: Rheingold (part one) is the opening eighth of Paul Pinto’s ambitious new theatre ritual, a radical reimagining of The Ring Cycle where masculinity and fatherhood is gesungen by a chorus of beefy Wotans. Sung in German… kind of.
The second half features excerpts from Nick Brooke’s works PSYCHIC DRIVING and TRANSCENDENTAL ETUDES, which seamlessly mixes musical samples with live performers. The intricate works meditate on sleep, opera and torture, mixing Brünnhilde’s fiery circle of sleep with the CIA’s Psychic Driving experiments with hallucinogens and transitional states of wakefulness.
