What the devil
Thursday, August 21st, 2008
Next week I start work with director Petra Berg Holbek on some rhythmic speech aspects of Gertrude Stein’s opera libretto ‘Dr. Faustus lights the lights’ (1932). There will be a short semi-staged preliminary showing of the workshop result, with 8 actors, at Kaleidoskop K2 foyer during the Golden Days Festival in Copenhagen. The showing on 21st September, 5pm, forms part of a Gertrude Stein seminar, at which internationally acclaimed music-theatre composer Heiner Goebbels is a key-note speaker.
