Baudelaire: Love and Lust

Excerpt from a solo performance featuring poetry from Baudelaire's FLOWERS OF EVIL in French and English and music of Debussy played live on the Etherwave Theremin (with recorded accompaniment by Frank Kitus.) The performance took place at A Space in Santa Rosa, California. It was sponsored by The Imaginists Theater Collective, of which I am a zealous member. This show is available for booking. HAVE SHOW. WILL TRAVEL. Email show@fintushel.com for booking information.

This segment features Baudelaire's poem "Une Charogne" and Debussy's song "Clair de lune." BAUDELAIRE: LOVE AND LUST comprises eight poems of Baudelaire and eight songs of Debussy. The translations are my own.
