Description
The Cryptic Corporation has announced that The Residents will perform a series of shows in 2010. The show is being considered by the group to be an experiment in new directions deviating from the more "band" productions of Wormwood through The Bunny Boy.
The "song" Talking Light was first released by RSD in late Spring 2009. It was the positive response to the song that encouraged The Residents to start work on bringing the idea to the stage.
************************************************************************************
“What are ghosts” ask The Residents - spirits of those no longer inhabiting the flesh, but unable to leave their lives behind? Or could ghosts be a manifestation of something even less tangible, like loneliness, unfulfilled desire or isolation? In a world where nearly everything has become defined and categorized, how do we fill our obvious, purely human need for the fuzzy , vague and supernatural - with TV commercials?
The ghost of a morbidly obese woman haunts her lesbian lover, filling the void of death with food commercials and Dr. Phil. A man becomes obsessed by the spirit of an executed serial killer who stuffed the mouths of his victims with Pudding Roll Ups, an extinct kid’s food from the 1980’s. A dead boa constrictor named Leonard (after Leonard Cohen, of course) plagues the mind of its former owner, currently consuming Oscar Meyer hot dogs by the dozen. These are just a few of the “ghost stories” told through the magic of The Residents’ Talking Light.
After all, even in death, will you ever forget that COCA COLA ADDS LIFE?
Tickets come out to $25.50 - All Ages - Doors at 7pm.
