We couldn't make it to the performance tonight but I've just watched the
5 operas and then watched a couple of them again.
<br>Stunned and delighted.
<p>Kids being allowed to sing new songs that relate in unlikely but very
tangible ways to everyday life; songs without sentiment. Songs laughing
about the guy who gets drunk on cranberries or pondering perspectives on
telepathic communication with aliens; the girls who try to forget their
lives by shopping for shoes, while the tabloids talk down to everyone they
know, and no-one seems that bothered. A fox and a hen miraculously spend
an un-murderous evening together while George Washington, oblivious, cogitates
on being and nothingness. Lewis Lacook's exquisite love poem.
<p>I was reminded of a double CD&nbsp; I took out of Walthamstow library
a couple of years ago, of recordings of old&nbsp; folk tunes, songs and
and stories from across England and Scotland made by&nbsp; Ewan MacColl
and Peggy Seeger. These stories and songs were born in contained geographic
regions, into a slower pace of life, a slower rate of cultural consumption.
Stories of the particular, passing through archetype, dream, myth, for
the purposes of protest, human solidarity, survival, pleasure.
<p>Similarly to the 5 Operas, these recordings seemed to express in precise
and familiar detail, something about what it is like to be alive and responsive
in the world and what it means to share the experience. It's the attention
to the detail, right down to the context in which they are experienced..
About as far away as one could get from a definition, theory and yet precise.
