Impressions from the strange and cruel world of flies by NESTA PAIN with music composed and conducted by ANTONY HOPKINS Narrator
Michael Hordern
' After mating, the biting fly must have a drink of blood. This need once satisfied, she proceeds to perform the last task of her brief life. She flies to a pond or stream. She balances her front legs on a floating straw, and she crosses her back legs ... an egg drops down. It's resting in the angle of her crossed legs .. and another ... and another ... a whole stream of them. The eggs are cemented together to form ... yes, it's launched. It's a boat! Off it goes, bobbing on the water.'
Music performed by members of THE THAMES CHAMBER ORCHESTRA Directed by JOHN THEOCHARIS
