16:30-17:00 & 19:00-19:30, Saturday 21st September 2024
The Cockpit
Music: Edward Lambert
Words: Federico García Lorca
This double-bill has two performances, one starting at 16:30 and one starting at 19:00. Each vignette lasts 15 minutes.
There will be a watch party of this show at 20:00 on the 2nd of October.
Two operatic vignettes adapted from texts by Federico García Lorca. The Parting (Quimera) tells of a man who is leaving his wife and children to go on a journey. He’s accompanied by a mysterious old man and it’s not clear where they’re going or if they’re coming back. Buster’s Trip (El paseo de Buster Keaton) features a tongue-in-cheek brainstorming session to develop a screenplay for Buster Keaton. He cycles and he walks through the countryside. Clearly, he’ll get up to all kinds of mischief and the feds will make their usual appearance. But will he fall for his leading lady? The Music Troupe celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with this surreal double-bill.
Age range: All ages, but mostly adults.
In a festival of new work, please note that shows may overrun.
Produced by The Music Troupe
