Four actors create a vocal symphony, accented by choral passages, from Les Murray’s monumental long poem. The work takes us off on a wild odyssey through the great arenas of the 20th century, from Berlin to Australia, via the First and Second World Wars to Hollywood – a piece of “striking, pictorial poetry with a large amount of cursing and swearing” (Süddeutsche Zeitung).
