(2006) -- Just in time for Christmas several years ago, act two of Drenching's proposed opera verite trilogy, of which "gate holder for tape" is the opening scherzo. This time there's both a petit and a grand polonaise constructed from cello batterings, metal percussion and sine wav chord cycles which redraws "les corps glorieux" as a bleached fauvist nude on a bed of old pencil cases. And not before time. Elsewhere, there's electro-whisk-fun, the inevitable distorted biscuit tin and all the unlikely formal architecture one would associate with this artiste. In a manner not unlike the final scene of "gremlins", the closing passages set the tone for the arrival of the final act some time in “the future”. This is the authentic face of opera for our century: shake in your shoes, bureaucrats.
