COSMONAUT part 5 music David Chesworth libretto Tony MacGregor

Notes for Cosmonaut by librettist Tony MacGregor.
Cosmonaut has its origins in the tumultuous events that lead to the collapse of the Soviet Union over the course of the European summer of 1991/92. Seen from Australia this was History, unfolding as a series of media images, in which the crowd -- on the street, in the square, occupying the Duma -- was the principal actor. Despite all of the pat Post Modern chatter about 'the end of history', the rise of virtual reality and triumph of the image, here were millions of people, taking their history physically in hand and onto the street.
