afterKLEIST anORATORIO

A Four Second Decay Production featuring Marcia Farquhar, Ella Finer, Matthew Fink, Ernst Fischer, Joe Hales, Justin Hunt, Robbie Jack, Flora Pitrolo, Maggie Pittard and P A Skantze.

afterKLEIST anORATORIO is based upon a cycle of poems by Matthew Fink in which Heinrich von Kleist welcomes other poets to a notional afterworld (denominated the refectory).

Using the term ‘poet’ in its broadest sense, Kleist welcomes not only Goethe and Emily Dickinson but James Brown and Maceo Parker as well.
