Against Oblivion, Part 1

presented by Regular Music II
Directed by Emma Bernard with original music by Jeremy Peyton Jones, Against Oblivion, Part 1, is the first section of a full-length music theatre work for 8 musician / performers about memory and hope. Using texts from the history of the 20th Century, its conflicts and its migrations, the piece focuses on the increasing reliance on forgetfulness to engender oblivion as a mechanism for psychological defence in an age of atrocity and brutality.
