"Beneath the deep earth many fires burn and through what is open they rapidly erupt". Opera by Robert Robertson about the life of Empedocles, the early Greek philosopher, realised in audio-visual form using Super8 ciné and Ektachrome slides. Presented as a real-time performance of recorded music, film and slide and captured on digital video. Extract from opera which symbolises a banquet at which a young man performs an increasingly threatening dance. Premiered at The Whitechapel Gallery, London1995.
