interspecies performance

[Alvina Ruprecht]

Hello, this is not a recent performance but Romeo Castellucci, an 
italian theatre director who was associate director of the Avignon 
Festival last summer 2008  , created his own version of the Orestaia  
using naked deformed human beings interacting with goats and dogs and 
other mammals on stage moving about in a green slimy light, the 
UHRschleim of the world as it came into being  through this founding 
text.  Most of the text was  grunts and groans and electronic rumblings. 
I am sure there is a DVD of it somewhere..
