Roaratorio
(1983 – recreation 2010)
(1983 – reprise 2010)
Choreography : Merce Cunningham
Music : John Cage
Created by John Cage, based on Finnegans Wake by James Joyce, Roaratorio is a completely crazy project that was intentionally unfinished, tending towards the infinite. Roaratorio is an atypical piece amongstthe works of Merce Cunningham. The choreography seems to give body to James Joyce’s literature, like an incarnation of the tongue beyond language.
