RECITAL: Redundant as eyelids in absence of light. A concert by Studio for Propositional Cinema (libretto) and Hampus Lindwall (organist/interpreter) Duration: 73 minutes

Thursday 15 November 2018 7pm

Great Hall University of Reading, London Road , Reading Studio for Propositional Cinema presents a lecture and a performance of ‘Redundant as eyelids in absence of light’ - a libretto for a five-dimensional dystopian opera set in a society in which all forms of language and interpersonal communication have been mitigated or eliminated. It will be realised in various formats: as a concert, as an exhibition previously at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen and finally as a publication and vinyl record. The libretto was translated from English to Greek to an endangered Greek whistled language, then transcribed to musical notation, forming the basis of a composition to be played on the organ of the Great Hall on the London Road Campus of the University of Reading by Swedish organist Hampus Lindwall. Each of the six songs of the libretto represents the desperate attempts of the protagonists to relearn various forms of communication.
