INCOMING! ROYAL OSIRIS KARAOKE ENSEMBLE
The Art of Luv (Part 1)
Friday 9 LA MAMAS seeing GREAT work in progress. Elliot Rodger. School shooter. He thinks he is perfect and yet noone loves him. He is the consequense of healing society – DU MUSS DEIN LEBEN ÄNDERN – THE PERFECT MAN. Noone loves him. He isolates himself and kills the beautiful people in the other world that is not his.
On May 23, 2014, Elliot Rodger killed 6 people and injured 13 in a rampage motivated by his lack of success with women. Royal Osiris Karaoke Ensemble seeks to treat this wound to the body of Love with a group meditation on masculinity, insecurity, and longing – performing humanity’s common search for Love as we misunderstand it.
The fable, told by La Fontaine, begins with Philippe, who, in dedication to God, retired to a mountain cave where his son grew up free from temptation. When, at age twenty, the youth emerged, Philippe truthfully explained to him all that he saw until they came to a party of young women. “What is that?” asked the youth. “A party of geese,” his father replied. “Father, I beg you, let us take one [with us].” The umbrella casts delicate shadows on the women, while the young man’s response leaves little to doubt.Seeing Nicolas Lancret at MET.
