Accordionist Performs in Play “The Exquisite Corpse” - Australiaby Heather Masefield |
Dave Evans (accordion), Guillermo Anad (viola) and Nick Reynolds (double bass) will provide the musical accompaniment to the play “The Exquisite Corpse” which is currently running at La Mama Courthouse, Carlton, Victoria, Australia until October 30th, 2022. The play features the women of the Horse Head Salon, who are getting ready to exhibit their new work, concocted while they play, drink, laugh and dream. Their achievements have been overshadowed by their more famous partners, and it’s time to turn the tables. The play is a surreal mash-up of tales of Clara Schumann, Leonora Carrington, Caitlin Thomas, Camille Claudel, Ella Grainger, Mary Livingstone and Madeleine Milhaud. Saturated with conflicting desires, impassioned acts, commiserations and consolations, it playfully subverts the status quo and celebrates the unique talents of the women. |
