The Mourning Show from Bill Bankes-Jones on Vimeo.
Ergo Phizmiz's opera about radio, magic, death and UK radio DJ Chris Evans, commissioned by DePlayer, received it's UK premiere last August at Tete-a-Tete: The Opera Festival. Now you too can join in the nihilistic fun and watch a DJ be destroyed.On his regular early morning show, popular DJ Chris Evans is telephoned by three ladies.
They proceed to destroy his mind.
Convinced he is a bird, he exits via the fourth storey window.
From “maverick composer” Ergo Phizmiz, The Mourning Show is a demonic-memetic-suitcase-living-room-opera.
