2017

With ritual design/theatrical direction by Antero Alli, Bardoville displays elements
of classical tragedy/drama such as confrontation/conflict/resolution. The flow from
scene to scene retained a narrative integrity around which each character acts and
reacts like jazz soloists departing and returning to a melodic structure and interactive
core. Sylvi Alli crafted the musical and aural accompaniment with her highly flexible
and colorfully timbred chorus (E.V.E.) to accentuate Bukowski’s poetic peculiarities.
