about

Vandals adapts a public trial of a war hero/criminal into a founding myth for democracy. It explores the personal histories of the cast to unearth the question, What do you need to change about the past in order to live in the present? Devised by the ensemble, this piece draws stories from the performers' lives, The Horatians, an interview with Peter Eisenman, and texts from the American reconstruction. The sounds in this piece were used to evoke these disparate sources while also vandalizing itself as a part of its existence. I tore apart classics and smashed the monumental aura of confident, nationalistic, and coded music. This led toward some new compositions building out from the melodies of Stephen Foster.
