Additional Information |
First performances by Regular Music II at Tete a Tete Opera Festival, Riverside Studios, London 30 and 31 July 2009 Against Oblivion Part 2 is the second part of an ongoing series of music theatre works by composer Jeremy Peyton Jones exploring the importance of memory in the face of the extremes of human experience. Part 1, which was premiered in 2007, concerns the legacy of violence and conflict whereas Part 2 concerns a more personal contemplation of our individual legacies with references to celebrity culture with its empty and vacuous extremes alongside allusions to the genuinely creative and pioneering. The work is devised in collaboration with the writer David Gale and the performers and includes original material by drummer Charles Hayward. Synopsis – press comment |
