The classic hit, with Michael McQuilken beatboxing. We performed this at the cabaret for the Prague Fringe, June 2008. Much love to all there...

Story of the Eye, Chapter One.


I’m developing Georges Bataille’s “Story of the Eye” (1928) into an operatic play. Here is Chapter One.

Linguistically, the book is kind of a dare: Bataille keeps pushing offensive images in front of the reader to make him/her squirm. By reading it aloud, I’m trying to overcome my knee-jerk squeamishness to access the deeper themes running through the material.

Warning: VERY graphic language/situations/symbology.
