SALVADOR DALI & IGOR WAKHEVITCH: ÊTRE DIEU

Finally, God is interviewed: Q: -What can you tell us about the night? A: -No comment. Q: -What can you tell us about the stars? A: -No comment... T! Although not all of the work (over two hours) maintains the quality of its creative peaks, far from being nonsense (as another reviewer mentions) it is a work on the senses. Igor Wakhevitch's music is largely visual. Dalí's literary images (e.g., exploding giraffes, the striptease of the Monalisa, etc.) are no less so. Together, they form an opera that has much of comic, much of rhapsodic and much of a cry of fed-upness. Which is a good thing, if one thinks that the world in which we live, facing demolition, not only cannot be represented by closed formats such as the pop song, but that these formats, far from being only in the realm of representations, are part of the causes of the madness disguised as normality in which we live.
