WHAT WOULD YOU DO...?
...if you walked into a room and realised it doesn't matter how talented, smart, dedicated and determined you are, someone there is an utter genius, and your life as you planned it is completely doomed? That some people are just born with an indefinable gift that means you can never measure up?
The Loser is a complex and unsettling piece about talent, jealousy and genius, based on the book by Thomas Bernhard and brought to life by vocalist Christopher Hillier and quartet.

A complex and unsettling piece about talent, jealousy and genius, THE LOSER, based on the book by Thomas Bernhard is brought to life by a single baritone voice and string quartet.

 

"a condescending, angry, smart, rich, witty, not very nice man ranting about his life."
