A spatialized audio play inspired by and adapted from Emilio Cruz’s "When This War Is Over, You’re Going to Get It George" (1975)
Adapted/Directed by Juli Crockett :: Composed by Michael Feldman
Crockett & Feldman place Cruz’s text in an enveloping, spatialized soundscape that conjures a mythic battlefield of mind and body. Veering from ASMR stimulations and soothing sound baths, to echoes of sonic brainwashing and low-frequency attacks, this "theater of the mind" experience offers a ritualized meditation on the brutal logic of war, and on humankind’s capacity to endure, or exploit, the most depraved and hopeless of circumstances.
Presented over three nights in a private loft in Tribeca surrounded by the largest private collection of Cruz’s prolific artworks, this is a rare opportunity to hear The George Project in a collective listening experience while viewing the works that inspired Crockett’s adaptation.
