An unbelievable scale, piercing the brain, bursting the heart – from the hoarse squeak to whisper, moan to scream, to the looped trance music – in Imparcie American artist presented the expressive and dark “Das Fieberspital” based on texts by Georg Heym and Galas’ own .
A musical performance, over which Diamanda Galas famous works will be officially unveiled at the Theatre Olympics in Autumn, 2016. Now she presented on the stage the next stage of preparation, so to speak – a performance almost finished– a monodrama– moving, scary, wild. As part of the work in progress show the artist
with the extraordinary triplophonic voice–only occasionally accompanied herself on the piano. Often the backdrop for her extraordinary voice was electronically warped, pulsating rhythms of low and deep sounds, including frenzied, looped vocals. And her singing, muttering and sounds gave a poignant impression – I could not believe that they could be extracted from human viscera.
Excerpts from the poem “The Fever Hospital” by Georg Heym , describing the delerium of patients in the last stages of yellow fever, declaimed in German by Diamanda Galas – further deprived the viewer of any hope of optimism.
The performance took place in a packed courtroom. The audience included both theater -goers and styled guests, representatives of the performerskiego and musicians. Also Galas did not hide her pleasure in meeting Nergal and industrial creators of Job Karma [who attended the performance].
