An opera about radio magick and death by Ergo Phizmiz

extra Foundsound by The Traveling Mongoose

‘The Mourning Show’ van Ergo Phizmiz en acteur Erik Bumbledonk is een collage-film over opera en demonologie. Met aan de muren een serie tekeningen en collages over opera, tussen de oren een speciale soundmix van opera-pop en tussendoor een foundsound-optreden van ‘The Travelling Mongoose’.

“An inventive and darkly comic take on the mechanics of radio, the occult and the history of opera. The music, simultaneously timeless and contemporary takes models from Mozart, Monteverdi and Verdi, filtering structures through electro-acoustic recording techniques.”

"Structured as a Greek tragedy, the opera also features settings of Edward Kelley & John Dee’s strange Enochian language: apparently the language of the angels, as performed by a medieval Plague Doctor who acts as The Chorus within the piece.”
