ephemeropteræ 2012/02 – Genesis Breyer P-Orridge
The second event of our ephemeropteræ series invites the audience to listen to the captivating spoken word of Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (of COUM Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV), artist, musician, vocalist, actor, poet, author, actionist & activist, mystician of Great Britain / United States, born 1950.
JACK KEROUAC SAID “The PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO EASE THE PAIN OF LIVING” WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS SAID “DAMN RIGHT SON! AND SHOT UP SOME MORE HEROIN, EASING HIS PAIN IMMENSELY.” HE LIVED A LOT LONGER TOO... TIBETTANS CALL THIS SPONTANEOUS SUBLIMITY A “DIAMOND SUTRA” TIMOTHY WYLLIE A “DIAMOND BODY” SEEMS TO ME ITS MORE CONTRADICTORY THAN THAT!! MORE LIKE AN OLD TYPE OF LIGHTBULB WITH THAT BOUNCY LITTLE SPRING WIRE THAT YOU JUST HATE BECAUSE IT ALWAYS SNAPS AS THE CLASP ON A BRA BEING SEDUCTIVELY SNAPS PERFECTLY SMOOTHLY APART OR THE DOG SNAPS AT THE NEW KITTEN AND YOU MISS THE ENTIRE POINT OF LAW AND ORDER... WORSE THAN JUST DISASTER AND INTERUPTION OF FLOW THAT LIGHT IS BROKEN DOWN INTO SELFREVEALED and REVEALING HOLE (without an “H” Courtney LOVE style) THIS IS CORRECT NOT A METAPHOR WHO ARE METAPHORS "FOR" ANYWAY? SO DOES THIS MEAN WE HAVE A DIAMOND CENTRE? OR DID WE? AND THAT WAS "GOD" OUR CREATOR WHO WHEN SHATTERED AS LIGHTBULB SPAN OFF CACKLING LIKE MACBETH'S WITCHES RELEASED YET INCOMPLETE JUST LIGHT SPEEDING OUTWARDS FOR ITS OWN SAKE... EXPANDING SO STOOPED AND ARTHRITIC THAT EACH BEAM BECAME A “UNIVERSE” SPLINTERED BITS STILL ORIGINAL AS THE SIN OF THEIR ORIGIN A DYING BREED A DYING BREED THE DYING BREED A DYING BREED NEEDING THEM NEEDING OTHERS NEEDING OTHERNESS NEEDING ANOTHER MESS
