I have just received this second review of The Unspeakable Rooms by Frank
Green of Cleveland Free Times
"The Unspeakable Rooms was an absolutely riveting collaboration between two
artists from Devon, England, known collectively as Gibbering Angels.
Written by internationally recognized sound text poet Alaric Sumner and
performed by Grotowski-influenced actor Rory McDermott, it was a
brilliantly conceived and powerfully executed meditation on the
relationship between language and the body. Dense, enigmatic, poetic,
tightly structured, and spiritually moving Beginning and ending in
stillness and breath, The Unspeakable Rooms employed language and the
ghosts and shadows of language, the human body and its projected double,
the human voice and its recorded echo, in order to explore their
limitations, language's 'tumbled towers' and the body's 'unspeakable
ruins'. As if to prove its theme I find it impossible to describe the work
adequately with words. Complicating the perception of both time and space,
it was one of the most powerful performances I've ever witnessed, and I've
attended hundreds. A difficult masterpiece."
We are seeking performance venues for this work.
