Director Corey Madden, composer Bruno Louchouarn, and choreographer Jacques Heim blend music, movement, and myth in this still-developing work of contemporary musical theater. This will be a "concert staging" of Surf Orpheus that re-envisions this ancient love story through the lens of Southern California's surf culture, the sounds of contemporary music, and images of the beach, the sea, and our dreams. http://www.getty.edu/visit/calendar/events/Performances.html http://entertainment.signonsandiego.com/events/ucsd-theatre-and-dance-2007-2008-season/http://www.getty.edu/visit/calendar/events/Performances.htmlshapeimage_10_link_0shapeimage_10_link_1

Agamemnon
   This open-air staging by acclaimed director Stephen Wadsworth resurrects Aeschylus' unsettling domestic drama of The House of Atreus, heard in a riveting translation by the late Robert Fagles.
 
Original music for the Getty Villa production of Agamemnon
“Bruno Louchouarn’s eerie percussive score [is] particularly strong.”
 Los Angeles Times
“Bruno Louchouarn’s ethereal music carries its doom-laden warnings from afar, as if wafting in from Troy -- which in a sense, of course, it has.”
