Tango - the definitive dance of sexual tension. Intense, deadly
serious, multi-faceted.
Raven - does not give a fig about complexity or dance. Takes a beak to
the balloons of human ego and pretentiousness. POP! Hop. Squawk.
Narrative, imagery and Argentine tango interweave in Blood Opera to create a luscious dance of word and flesh. The words come from award winning poet Jannie Edwards' book of the same title. The piece is structured like a songbook, so it can take us from Judas and aging Sirens stuck in the hermetic cootsville of an old folks home, to pornography and prairie family dinners, to a High Noon shootout between Poe’s Raven and the Tango Raven, to epic prairie sunsets.
