Synopsis: | The Brain Rain Players and Bushwick Project for the Arts are proud to present the premiere of Tydrus the Twit, a new opera. Tydrus the Twit is about a middle-Georgia punk's inability to get a job and his bad trip through a dream world filled with witches and hopeless love. The opera is an immersive musical world spanning the intense reality of a small Southern town and the dreams of its occupants. The Brain Rain Players are an operatic group of free jazz improvisors, untrained singers, performance artists, and other widely talented persons. With a multi-disciplinary approach that combines spoken dialogue with environmental and procedural music, the Brain Rain Players bring opera's irrational forms to the forefront of the theater. The music for Tydrus the Twit combines instrumental music and unmusical sounds made by the mouth. The score specifically avoids the carefully notated practices of traditional opera, relying instead on procedural notation and musical games employing the entire ensemble. These practices, designed with an eye to creating an immersive theatrical environment, includes singing, blowing on bottles, laughing, clicking tongues, whistling, buzzing, grunting, yawning, and spitting. Tydrus the Twit expresses a world of sound that is not dependent on technical ability and draws out unique responses from each musician. | |||||
