| Summary |
"The opera Project : Who is this man photographed recently on a beach nearby? On approach he spoke a dialect of musical memes, adolescent delusions, TV sound grabs, punch-lines and pedagogy. He hummed sound bytes from what a local lifesaver identified as Bach's Goldberg Variations. Developed over two years in Sydney, Perth, the south of France and Berlin, Sleepers Wake! Wachet Auf! is a unique and remarkable collaboration between Kellaway and distinguished writing talents. Composed, performed and directed by Kellaway, this most surprising performance finds a man at the edge of recollection, harboring a nagging desire to connect with the present. Adrift from cultural and historical specificities where nostalgia for Glenn Gould and Dean Martin washes up alongside political anxiety and an unreliable memory" -- Cover |
