Black Lodge Little

Drawing on the disturbing and complicated mythologies of the surrealist writer William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch), Black Lodge uses dance, industrial rock, classical string quartet, and opera to take viewers through a Lynchian psychological escape room.

Set in a nightmarish Bardo, a place between death and rebirth, a tormented writer faces down demons of his own making. Forced to confront the darkest moment in his life, he mines fractured and repressed memories for a way out. A woman is at the center of all the writer’s afterlife encounters. She is the subject of his life’s greatest regret, and she materializes everywhere in this Otherworld. The writer cannot detach any thoughts of his life from her.

“Wat is er nodig om onszelf onder ogen te zien? Ga de duisternis in op zoek naar iets moois, mystieks. Maar wees heel voorzichtig met wat je moet weten…”

In een nachtmerrieachtige Bardo, een plaats tussen dood en wedergeboorte, gaat een gekwelde schrijver de confrontatie aan met demonen van zijn eigen makelij op zoek naar ontsnapping. Dit is het uitgangspunt van Black Lodge van componist David T. Little (US) en dichter Anne Waldman. Een gelaagde moderne opera die put uit de complexe mythologieën rond artiesten als William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch), David Lynch (Twin Peaks) en anderen. De film is genomineerd voor een Grammy® Award in de categorie ‘Best Opera Recording’. Beleef een wilde reis naar de hel en terug met industrial metal en punk, klassiek strijkkwartet en opera. 

Een unieke ervaring met zowel film als live zang van de veelgeprezen Kazachs-Amerikaanse operazanger Timur (Klaus From Space, O. 2023).

“What does it take to face ourselves? Enter the darkness in search of something beautiful, transcendent. But be very careful what you need to know…

Set in a nightmarish Bardo, a place between death and rebirth, a tormented writer faces down demons of his own making in search of escape. This is the premise of composer David T. Little and poet Anne Waldman’s Black Lodge — a multilayered modern opera that draws on the complex mythologies surrounding artists like William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch), David Lynch (Twin Peaks), and others. A journey into hell and back, Black Lodge fuses industrial metal and punk with classical string quartet and opera to create something wildly vivid and new.

A unique experience featuring both film and live vocals by acclaimed Kazakh-American opera singer Timur (Klaus From Space, O. 2023).
