Toy Piano - why is Margaret Leng Tan so fascinating?

The European Mezzo TV channel tells you everything about "culture" you need to know:1. It is a ridiculously small milieu. Just look at their site. It is not much more developed than your average friendly grocer's home page.2. It is snobbish. Ubearably snobbish. It does...

Bill T. Jones - The honest demagogue

I have just finished watching an interview with Bill T. Jones. I have seen him perform both live and on video. His story is touching and controversial. He is an authority.But he is also a demagogue.

It is not rare for me to come out of a show/performance/stage production and not know whether I liked it or not.This was certainly the case with Romeo Castellucci's 4th episode of the Tragedia Endogonidia series - BR.#04 Bruxelles/Brussel, during the Alkantara Festival....
