Alwynne Pritchard: Institutions of the Flesh
Alwynne Pritchard's compelling music theatre performance explores our connections to the institutions of love, labour, devotion and dissent that have shaped human history.
In conversation with Tom Service, Alwynne Pritchard introduces her compelling music theatre piece. With texts by William Blake and Heine M眉ller, Institutions of the Flesh explores relationships between the human voice, our bodies and the social structures in which we live; how each and every breath we take connects us to the institutions of love, labour, devotion and dissent that have shaped human history. Recorded by Radio 3 last week at Canterbury's Free Range.
As well as exciting new releases, the programme also includes UK premieres by Finn Ville Raasakka and British-German Eden Lonsdale recorded last month by the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra at the 大象传媒's Maida Vale Studios. Plus, recorded at this year's Tectonics festival, the world premiere of Jack Sheen's 'Lag'.
