Jeremy Hardingham gave a persuasive performance of his "Incarnate's / And
yet but still just this" at The Playroom Cambridge yesterday, as a solo. He
recited/acted it with a few props and a desk-lamp. It was interesting to
witness this after knowing the text on paper because it remained so very
much a text, not illusioned into anywhere else. Minimal projection,
constant tenuous casual mode. The movements of the language were only
represented as human events in a quite optional way so that the language
remained unowned.
Thus the Audience reflection. Selling slogans:
1) This text is one of the most interesting things to have come out of
"young Cambridge".
2) Hardingham negociates the space between Beckett and Prynne.
Copies of the script, published by Barque Press, are available at £2.50 +
50p post, either from me or from Barque Press (Keston Sutherland)
After the play, Keston Sutherland and Sam Brenton read new poems, with
professional panache, respectively bebop and aria tones, or Adorno and
Haydn.
