Book Description
The Irrepressibles is a story that revolves around how the circumstances of poverty, deprivations, and social stigma force some people into gangsterism, Cultism, debauchery, and demagoguery as a way for attaining that same innate desire in all humans, - the desire to be happy; - a goal which such people feel denied. It beams light on the clandestine activities that go on unabated in student hostels and communes which invariably translate into our socio-political culture. The protagonists, whether heroes or villains, become the elite, members of the ruling class that dictate the policies that shape our society, - a status attained through the pertinacity of struggles.

Music on Stage Volume 2
Author: Luis Campos
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527562018
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Performance by its very nature embraces many constituents, the theories of which have developed into discreet disciplines as on-going research deepens our understanding and knowledge of each one of them. Concomitantly, there continues to grow a greater interlinking, fusion and blurring of discreet boundaries between traditional genres – features highlighted in the seventeen papers presented here. Topics explored in this volume include: the intermedial performance of the Irrepressibles and electronically controlled sounds on the concert platform; the ways in which the physical body dictates movement and character and how the embodiment of the voice goes beyond character stereotypes; how Romeo Catellucci legitimized the audience’s gaze whilst staging brain-damaged patients; interculturalism in a new operatic work focusing on the current Israeli-Palestinian crisis; interrogating transgenerational depictions of Otherness in the Rocky Horror Show; musical speech in Iannis Xenakis’ reworking of ancient Greek in his Oresteia; genre conflation in terms of unaccompanied monodrama; trans-genre adaptation in Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier and Philip Glass’s “Cocteau trilogy”; and textual and musical comedy in Ligeti’s Le Grand Macabre, among others.
