In short, drunken idiots leading hideous lives. The pacing was interminably slow. High level of lighting and set design wasted.

Social documentary and not entertainment or education. A demonstration of the limits of improvisation. Tightly scripted La Maman et La Putaine much better.

I bought the Chiaroscuro CD while I was there. Surprisingly the CD is just a shadow of how Fresu and Towner play live together. This is one rare occasion where the live performance clearly outranks what the musicians can do in the studio. I guess you had to be there.
Porgy & Bess artistic director Christoph Huber was very animated after the show as well. It was one of the top five concerts I’ve ever attended there in five years.
