Company

Performance
All manner of surreal gadgets and musical instruments: a coloratura machine, for example, or a giant metronome which a man climbs out of. Is it an extravagant music shop, a live-in kitchen or a variety show? – the noise master, the blind funnel violin player, the diva plagued by arias, the hypochondriac kettledrummer and all the other manic musical clowns are collectively traumatised by the thought of having to use the opera urinal after the performance. They sound like the characters of Thomas Bernhard: Everywhere you look things are artificial and ridiculous. Yet if they do give a concert together, it turns into a music theatre happening somewhere between rondo and fugue: grotesque, melancholy and distant-sounding as though coming from another time.
