"Orghast will never be performed again"
KROGON Y MOA
You can spend a happy hour waxing sufistic with the panhandler up the street and trading riddles (witches wear name tags to know which witch is which; the dime stayed behind because it had more cents, and we all know why Mickey Mouse left Minnie), or you can ponder the problem that the automaton makers had with building a doll that could use the letter P, which I'm told is usually the first phoneme that babies grapple with: a ventriloquist's problem with the plosive, verbum dimissum, zend-avesta, sigilistic language, whatever happened to Book PIH?
Peter Brook: "When Ted Hughes first came to Paris to a session of our work, we improvised for him on random syllables, then on a piece by Aeschylus. He at once began his own experiments, searching to create first of all roots of language and then what he described as 'great blocks of sound.' From here to Orghast was of course a long and intricate journey."
