Description | An exploration of the underbelly of evil through opera inspired by Fassbinder's Moors murders play Pre-Paradise, Sorry Now.
From Performance Space database: "A dramatic meeting between four of Australia's most established contemporary performance practitioners and two of Sydney's rising musical stars. Inspired by Rainer Werner Fassbinder's play on the subject of the Moors Murders, this work explored the obscene limits to which intimate relationships can degenerate. It's the 1960s on the Moors. Myra and Ian are slaughtering British youngsters in a frenzy of calculated desire... Or is it." |
