Friday February 26, 8pm: Screening of CONCERTO FOR HAVING FUN WITH ELVIS ON STAGE (A GHOST OPERA)
In 1973, an album entitled "Having Fun with Elvis on Stage" was released - an album collaged entirely from Elvis speaking on stage between songs at live concerts — no music. One reviewer wrote: “hearing it is like witnessing a car wreck, leaving onlookers too horrified and too baffled to turn away.” Concerto for Having Fun with Elvis on Stage reimagines this vilified recording as the libretto for a sort of ‘ghost opera’ — creating a memetic hologram of the endless purgatory of celebrity afterlife. Directed and performed by Alexander Gedeon, composed by Daniel Corral, Video Director Allen Cordell.
