Peter Yates concert. The Egg and the Seed

A program of tangos, Baroque arias, phase-shifting grooves channeling the ghost of Charlie Christian, 12-tone invocations of  “Moon River," and the new live version of Yates' The Egg and the Seed - a multimedia extravaganza about intercourse in all forms and levels of scale – molecular, cellular, interpersonal, cultural and national. 250 collage images present a "comic book" age-of-exploration narrative whose text blocks and word balloons are not read, but sung. Metaphors of seeking, sighting, touching, merging, mixing and emerging multiply, leading to a cyclic conclusion where all ends in another beginning.
