Matthew Rogers, Weep at the Elastic as it Stretches: An adaptation of N.F. Simpson’s Prayer
The piece Weep at the Elastic as it Stretches: an adaptation of N.F. Simpson’s Prayer by Matthew Rogers is a formal response to a collection of starting points: Medieval codices, modal realism, structures of rhetoric and the quasi-absurdist plays of the late N.F. Simpson. Read more about the piece here.
Produced and performed by SCENATET in collaboration with MATA Festival, New York and Kammer Klang, London
Supported by The Danish Arts Foundation/Pool for Composer’s Agreements, and Åbne Scene – Godsbanen
