Shit of God: The Texts of Diamanda Galas Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The incomparable voice of our time, Diamanda Galas has stunned audiences worldwide in performances that are as moving as they are terrifying. A one-woman sonic event, she uses her impeccably disciplined, quicksilver vocal technique to evoke the profound suffering and isolation of the human condition as it confronts the ravages of AIDS and insanity. Published here for the first time, Galas's texts read like poetry on the page and are as effective in print as they are devastating in performance. The laments, dirges, and spirituals from the performances Plague Mass, Shrei X, and Vena Cava, among others, compose The Shit of God.

Synopsis:

This work reporduces the lyrics of the performances and compositions of Diamanda Galas. Galas uses her voice to evoke the profound suffering and isolation of the human condition as it confronts AIDS and insanity.
