TENTH INTERVENTION‘s avant-duo Trystero performs all 7 Episodes of Robert Ashley’s made-for-television opera “Perfect Lives” in a marathon performance at Firehouse Space. This event, spanning 7 hours, will feature special guest performers including jam band AmmoCake, guitarist Hannis Brown, dancer Diane Skerbec, saxophonists Michael Eaton and Lathan Hardy, violinist Hajnal Pivnick, and pianist Brad Whiteley.
Guests may come and go as they please, and each episode begins on the hour, every hour. There will be Midwest-style picnic refreshments served throughout the night. “Perfect Lives” has in recent years experienced a renaissance of new interpretations, notably Vidas Perfectas, Varispeed and Matmos. Trystero’s new take on Ashley’s television opera includes Ashleyan singing, freely improvised ensemble playing, and 60s inspired performance art.
About the Artist: Formed by the merging of the disparate minds of composer-performers David Kulma and Dorian Wallace, Trystero is a duo brought together to perform Robert Ashley’s Perfect Lives and other Awesome Music. For more information, check out www.trysteromusic.com.
