Still Life With Commentator is an explosive oratorio, darkly lyrical, cross-media in its approach to the role of modern warfare and its inevitable relationship to mass media. While attempting to address our historical hunger for unspeakable, unending and ongoing tragedies, in Still Life With Commentator, the post-9/11 surveillance culture is prismatically refracted into multiple distinct narratives.
"A triumph of a genre that doesn't yet exist...aggressively ambitious yet unfailingly accessible and deeply empathetic." (The Boston Globe).
