David Lang - The Sage Gateshead’s Composer in Association – has set to music a famous political speech from 1918 by the American socialist Eugene Debs. A UK premiere. Richard Ayres, a youngish Brit living in Holland has written an inspired, hallucinogenic fantasy about an orphaned girl growing up in the Alps, raised by animals. Kaleidoscopic, hilarious, spectacularly theatrical and surprisingly emotional.
