The Howl in Arcadia
T1574176505
...so this is the story of a war correspondent who is trying to do her job. But when paradise has been overrun by the ruthless, what is there to say that makes a difference? A ground-breaking collaboration between composer and theatre maker Simon Thorne, and writer and lighting designer Ace McCarron. Together they speak passionately about our relationship to the earth today. The Cherubs do a stark, minimalist kind of jazz. Lead vocalist Alex Alderton delivers belting soul and heart stopping tenderness in the same breath. What happens is a revelation. It's a dramatic journey that challenges the very notion of hope, to sing a hymn to humanity in the face of catastrophe. Ecstatic voices and virtuoso improvisation make something out of jazz and Baroque opera that's dark, raw and starkly beautiful.
