Graham F. Valentine & Ensemble

In Alexander M. Wagner’s cycle KÄFER TÖTEN, man’s “inner child” is caught up in a carousel of urges and illusions. The composer impressively builds a phantasmagorical rainbow through the underworld of the psyche. The Scottish actor Graham Forbes Valentine lends schizophrenic faces to the ambiguous states of mind in the work. His lyrical, morbid voice, both menacing and tender, makes him one of the most original voice artists of our time. Of fear, greed, sadness, lust and delusion – a roundelay of lost memories of a world suspended between dream and reality.
