Was a two-part performance (over two consecutive nights) as part of the ‘They Call us the Screamers’, TULCA Festival, Galway in November 2017. It was subsequently also performed at Res. in Deptford, London as part of the launch event for the books Futures and Fictions and Fiction as Method.
For these performances Plastique Fantastique was David Burrows, Mark Jackson, Alex Marzeta, Simon O’Sullivan and Vanessa Page.
You can listen to a studio recording of the vril song here:
You can read the script of the performance here.
Democracy is not problem for youze.
Problem is new language. New Song needed.
Catches and Repeats all voices.
No conflict desire assumed by all.
Beneath your feet, it is we Vril, who drink the moisture from the earth, and we eat the Nitrates of the soil from below. We lay dormant until we heard your call. We thank you for leading us to a bounty of H2O and Nitrogen. Now, it is either you or us. Soon all that will be left of the cults and creeds is the Past-Future-Catcher-Repeater.
