SPOR festival: PIGSPIGSPIGS
PIGSPIGSPIGS
- Format: Music theatre
- Duration: 75 minutes
- Artist: Bastard Assignments
Experimental music theatre about an English farming family that feels the impact of strange, dark powers coming from their land. Four performers are on a stage – with costumes, homemade instruments, no pigs. Bastard Assignments reimagine traditional English folk performances, composing their own folk songs, hymns, and a Christmas carol. These elements are combined with composed music and improvised performance. Pen lids and cooking pans, copper pipe, hoses and twigs – as well as more conventional instruments – create the soundscape of this sinister fable. Labeled “bizarre, compelling and truly unexpected” by Frieze magazine, this performance by Bastard Assignments was co-commissioned by Borealis, which is a festival for experimental music, along with Wigmore Hall & SPOR festival.

På dansk
Eksperimenterende musikteater om en engelsk landbrugsfamilie, der mærker effekten af mærkelige, mørke kræfter, som kommer fra deres jord. Fire performere er på scenen – med kostumer, hjemmelavede instrumenter, ingen grise. Bastard Assignments gentænker traditionelle engelske folkelige forestillinger og komponerer deres egne folkesange, salmer og en julesang. Disse elementer kombineres med komponeret musik og improviseret performance. Kuglepenne og grydelåg, kobberrør, vandslanger og grene – såvel som mere konventionelle instrumenter – skaber lydlandskabet i denne dystre fabel. Frieze Magazine har betegnet forestillingen som ”bizar, fængslende og virkelig uventet”. Den præsenteres af Bastard Assignments, og den er bestilt af Borealis – en festival for eksperimenterende musik – sammen med Wigmore Hall og SPOR festival.
