Description

Inspired by Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus, featuring original text and music which depict the extreme cruelty resulting from retaliation. Song of the Goat’s signature staging of topical issues now turns to the ongoing war in Europe in this brutal and uncompromising warning of where the path of revenge and cruelty leads. Drawing from reportage, Andronicus Synecdoche reaches for the topos and the universally recognizable myth, creating a symbolic image of war as a field of the moral decline of humanity. War lasts as long as revenge takes.
