Orfeus
In the meantime, he openheartedly shares the insights he has gathered during that time.
To kill time.
With his own myth as a weapon.
The listeners as guinea pigs.
The right string as a lure.
The impossible as a red rag.
Groundhog Day Triplex.
Catapulted by a fifteen-headed sound dragon that calls itself Flat Earth Society (FES).
Sixteen flapping pairs of lips on one stage.
Koen De Graeve (LAZARUS) and Peter Vermeersch (Flat Earth Society Orchestra) are in ship shape. In Orfeus they explore the extremes of human ingenuity, served on a musical bed of ancient-Greek jazz, doused in a generous outpour of imagery-laced word soup that amazes and confuses, titillates and moves.
A hilarious, two-hour-long act of despair.
That will fail.
May everyone die of pleasure. (Epicurus)
Or of sublime hearing loss. (Aphex Twin)
Or of boredom. (God)
