Dennis Cleveland

Run Time: 90min

Don't miss this opportunity to accompany one of the world's leading avant-garde composers on his quest through the changing spiritual landscape of modern American life - straight from LA and New York!

Dennis Cleveland is a multimedia environmental opera set entirely in a talk-show studio. A chorus of "guests" relate their sorry tales of lost love, obsession, crime and regret. But as their disjointed emotional sagas unfold, it becomes apparent that what they are really telling is the story of Cleveland's own life.

Drawing not only on the clichés of trash-talk TV but also on such literary sources as Sinclair Lewis's Elmer Gantry and John Ralston Saul's Voltaire's Bastards, Dennis Cleveland offers a brilliant and disquieting critique of the late 20^th century's promise of salvation through popular culture. Luminato presents this opera in a world-premiere repertory trilogy with its two companion works: Rouse's one-man show Failing Kansas and his The End Of Cinematics, an eye-popping blend of computer-generated visual effects and live performance.

Save when you see the entire trilogy! Packages available
