A performer must always carry about them a whiff of poison and hemlock. Ambrosia. They must always be on their way to somewhere better. Teasing and leaving the people by the side of the road, alone. They will never be coming back.
This story is about a performer who has no resource to other worlds. No plane ticket in the back pocket, no connections to the real world. He is stuck here on this damned island, dealing with whatever he finds and whoever comes along.
But he has his powers and his old maps and trails to over lay the land. He has dimensions! He has you SURROUNDED!
We are Live, in HELL!
In hell we live only as reflected by others.
Each performer, in the beginning must possess and embody and project a future. A world of possibilities. That’s what attracts the attention of people. The best people of the time, who are hungry for something / anything. These are the people that eat you up. Later they spit you out as something else. Then other people come. The ones who were late. There’s more of them. They are there for the past. The present or the past. Not the future. There is no future.
We are Live, in HELL!

"Live in hell" is the sequel to the narrative show "Point Blank" and will be playing at the Butterfly Club from Thursday 26th March to Saturday 28th March. All shows at 9pm.
ReplyDeletePoint Blank was a narrative show around a set of songs about a performer walking onto a stage and fighting many heroic battles for the territory. It talked of the performer drawing power from collective mythology and his own underworld as he battled away at the frontline. ("Always keep your supply lines at a right angle to your frontline so as to provide the most narrow profile possible!") His goal was to attain a state as a part of music itself. At the end of that show he reached a "point blank" as he walked out onto the stage and instead of another violent conflict he was confronted with an expectant, accepting crowd. Now he had to enter his own scene. This was a new place and all the power he had drawn on thus far were no longer of any use.
This is what happens next. "Live in Hell". A world without reflection or time except that to be found within other peoples eyes!
How long will I be here? That is the question.
Can there be a story without end? Lets see.
A performer must always carry about them a whiff of poison and hemlock. Ambrosia. They must always be on their way to somewhere better. teasing and leaving the people alone. They will never be coming back.
"I am now exposed and live to fight another eternity, what for is hidden . Its all about HOW. I am now out in the open and prey to anybody who walks along. I am unprotected by any context of my own. Save what I can conjure and wear myself. I am a wild man again. I am among the people. I have gone to HELL. WHERE YOU LIVE!"
Featuring songs Dave Graney writes and sings, IN HELL! Also selected songs from fellow travellers, IN HELL! (Elvis Presley, the Fall. the Doors, Roxy Music, Jerry Lee Lewis)
