Description
A one-woman sonic event, Diamanda Gal?s has stunned audiences world-wide in performances that are as moving as they are terrifying. The incomparable voice of our time, she uses her dynamic three-and-a-half octave range to evoke the profound suffering and isolation of the human condition as it confronts the ravages of AIDS and insanity. Published in the UK for the first time, Gal?s' texts are as effective in print as they are devastating on stage. The laments, dirges and spirituals from Plague Mass, Shrei 27 and Vena Cava, among others, are included.
Reviews / Votes
?As beautiful as it is harrowing, as riveting as it is fearsome, as lucid as it is maniacal? LA Weekly ?When she sings, she screams with such a lack of self-censorship that she has been called a demonic diva... she?s certainly the closest equivalent we have to Callas? InterviewMore details
