Ergo
Phizmiz presents “UOEIA”
* the histories of yodelling around the
world
A
production of DePlayer
UK tour October 2013 * Dates tba soon
Yodelling:
the crack in the human voice when pushed to its limit, the plaintive
wail of man against mountains. From the Pygmy tribes in the jungles
of Africa, to the mountains of Switzerland, or the plains of the Wild
West, to frantic Persian ululations and yelps, yodelling is a
worldwide phenomenon that betrays its perceived image as a benchmark
of kitsch.
In “UOEIA:
Favola in Jodel”, Ergo Phizmiz presents the history of yodelling
through music, masks, puppetry, collage, and animation. Based on the
books “Yodel in Hi-Fi” and “Yodel-Ay-Eee-Ooo” by Bart
Plantenga, and performed by Swiss Family Phizmiz, UOEIA invites you
through time and culture, yodelling from cavemen to the modern age.
