Nitsch, Hermann -orgien Mysterien Theater-

Musik Der 135. Aktion, Kuba (2cd)

Recorded in 2012, 'Musik Der 135. Aktion, Kuba' captures the controversial performance from Herman Nitsch's Orgien Mysterien Theater as part of the Havana Biennial art exhibition. For more than fifty years Nitsch has been an influential and striking figure of Austrian art (Vienna Actionism). In his Orgien Mysterien Theater he uses actors, blood, animal bodies and entrails, fruits, symbolic crucifixion, music, processions and ritualistic gestures to enact a new form of Gesamtkunstwerk: pagan ceremonies that aim to a kind of collective catharsis. 'Dionysos Gegen Den Gekreuzigten' was performed by 150 musicians and 30 actors, including the University's Symphony Orchestra ISA and the artist himself, celebrating Afro-Cuban rituals and ceremonies. Released in cooperation with the Nitsch Foundation.
