Gorgeous Fever: the Radio Drama, 1994, New York, Roulette, concert performance, audio documentation of performance

Description

This is an audio documentation of a live performance excerpt (running time: 23:18, format: audio cassette) of "Gorgeous Fever: the radio drama” by Lynn Book that emerged after the stand-alone recording of the same name. The theatrical framework of “Gorgeous Fever”, an original multimedia performance by Book, was stripped away to situate the performer as sound effects artist who revealed to the audience the artifice of illusion. Book performed several distilled versions of “Gorgeous Fever: the radio drama’ until the final theatrical iteration at The Kitchen, New York City in 1997 which incorporated the ‘the radio drama’ into the structure. Roulette Roulette Intermedium was founded in 1978 at the height of the Downtown Experimental Arts revolution in New York CIty by four graduates from the University of Illinois (Urbana). Its mission is to support artists creating new and adventurous art in all disciplines by providing them with a venue and resources to realize their creative visions and to build an audience interested in the evolution of experimental art.
