Ergo Phizmiz presents the UK premiere of his experimental opera "Vogel Europa" at the Toi Toi Opera Club Night, London, October 28th 2015, presented by the Helios Collective.
"Vogel Europa" is an opera using song, found-sound, mixed
language, and rhythmic spoken word, taking cues from the intoned voice
operas of Robert Ashley and the simultaneous sound-poetry exhibits of
the Dadaists. The opera also makes direct reference to the work of
Polish writer Bruno Schulz, mixed with autobiographical references and
stories, fantasies, and multilingual bird-name directories from old
records. Finally, we will meet the last bird in the universe and
discover what his swansong is.
