Notes: libretto and drawings by Ben Katchor, music by Mark Mulcahy | ||||
Synopsis: Ben Katchor's drawings form the animated background for The Slug Bearers of Kayrol Island (or, The Friends of Dr. Rushower), set in and around Manhattan and on a tropical factory-island of exploited workers. For this unique new musical, Katchor was inspired by the tradition of the "picture reciter," a form of live entertainment from 17th century India. Updating and exploring this tradition, he has created original, hand-drawn still and animated sequences which complement Mark Mulcahy's indie-rock score nytheatre.com | ||||
