Thebaiertest - Bacches
(2011)
https://www.hurter-urech.ch
Hurter-Urech stand as amphorae in an antique-looking landscape. The ancient tragedy "The Bacchae" by Euripides is played out on their amphora bellies: each scene of the play is summarized in a rather unintellectual seeming term. The sound comes not from an orchestra and a choir, but from Kalabrese, one of Switzerland's first techno musicians. But this truly terrible tragedy should not come across as light fare.
