Tears Of Dionysius

Inhaltsangabe:
Das Caput-Ensemble wird unterstützt vom Icelandic Ministry of Culture und der Stadt Reykjavik.

Tears of Dionysius is an ambitious and provocative artwork that combines Lars Graugaard's modern musical language in a score for 18 players and reciter with Thomas Hejlesen's film of edited scenes from long forgotten erotic movies. Along 13 scenes, the work treats the history and the predetermined nature of man's sexuality. Our present society integrates sexuality into all kinds of commercial and everyday contexts which at first glance suggests a liberation of ideals and manners. But such a radical act of self realisation is contrived and false, and Tears of Dionysius is a reaction to this fact. The text is poetic settings of key concepts from Friedrich Nietzsche's essay Geburt der Tragödie. Production supported by Danish Composers' Society's Production Pool/KODA's Fund for Social and Cultural Purposes and KODA's Collective Blank Tape Remuneration. Source material for the film consists of anonymous black and white movies from 1920 to 1940. The video material contains graphic images that may seem offensive. CAPUT is an independent ensemble supported by the Icelandic Ministry of Culture and City of Reykjavík.
