The Origins of Capital and the Descent of Power
A Circus Piece for Two Sound Sources
Written by PHILIP OXMAN
An experiment in creating an intricate structure of poetic imagery in words and sound, rather than telling a dramatic story in the conventional way. The basic image is that of a family. Neb, Mugg and their son Laffy, on display in a circus, which, as they are short of money and have to butcher their own animals in order to live. is also a butcher's shop. Three clowns sardonically comment on the action but the one who thinks and suffers is a black man, Gideon, the assistant ringmaster, who stands for all oppressed minorities. The main image thus links the relationship of sex and power in the family and in society.
Music composed by MALCOLM CLARK realised at the Radiophonic Workshop by MALCOLM CLARK and PHILIP OXMAN
