MME SOSOSTRIS’ CANTEEN REVUE: a workshop showing of excerpts from Caeneus (a new work of music theatre in development)
ANIMA Early Music
A bronze-age transition story retold in 1940’s America — retold in and for our own time.
Caeneus presents us with a queer world in which the Army sanctions G.I. drag … only to turn around and criminalize/pathologize same-sex love and gender variance.
The music, by James Rolfe, draws on 1940s soundworlds of vaudeville and cabaret — infused with older soundworlds that gesture to this story’s complex, ancient, and intercultural origins.
