"Robert Wilson directs a workshop rehearsal for the 1990 production of the Black rider. Prologue rehearsed for first 28 minutes of recording. This rehearsal includes costumes, but only minimal scenery, props, and lighting."
"This recording of The black rider was made at its premiere on March 31, 1990. The performance begins at ca. 7:10 on Disc 1. The performance continues on Disc 2, ending at ca. 45:40. At ca. 48:34, Robert Wilson, Tom Waits, William Burroughs and others join the cast for curtain calls. Dominique Horwitz, then Tom Waits, sings The black rider."
""The Black Rider is Wilson's homage to German Expressionism, with the distorted perspectives of Expressionist painting and the exaggerated gestures of cabaret and silent movies. Based loosely on the German folktale underlying von Weber's opera Der Freischutz (1821), the production has many American twists, as one might safely assume with collaborators like Tom Waits and William Burroughs"--Robertwilson.com."
"A foolish man receives twelve magic bullets from the Devil. His new-found skill as a marksman brings him everything desires, but the Devil's bargain proves tragic."
"Robert Wilson directs a workshop rehearsal for the 1990 production of the Black rider. Run-through includes some scenery, props, and costumes. Musical performance is incomplete.
