M. Lamar: DESTRUCTION
M. Lamar works across opera, metal, performance art, and video to craft sprawling narratives of radical racial and sexual transformation. The New York-based composer's newest music theater piece, DESTRUCTION, for male soprano and piano with projections, is a song of mourning for "the motionless movement of death through slavery, segregation and neo-segregation". Drawing on themes of apocalypse, end times, and rapture found in Negro Spirituals, the work explores radical historical expressions, and invoked long held and continued calls to end our current world order, synonymous with white supremacy. DESTRUCTION is a futuristic salvaging of the negro spirit in a destroyed western world in flames.
