FORT WILSON RIOT PRESENTS IDIGARAGUA!!!
[EE DEE GAH RAH GWAH]
Fort Wilson Riot is proud to present the premiere of Idigaragua, a
brand new "indie-rock opera".
Directed by Jeremey Catterton, Idigaragua will showcase dance,
puppetry, film and live rock and roll to fully visualize Fort
Wilson Riot's new concept album of the same name.
Conceived by local, award winning artists Fort Wilson Riot,
Idigaragua initially got its name and inspiration from a short
story by Paul Bowles. In this five-part epic song, we follow an
unnamed American journalist through an epic adventure beginning in
a bar in a foreign land. The song relates a magical tale of one
man's lifetime: from the mundane to the fantastic, it speaks of
intentions, possibilities and choice. Throughout, a haunting voice
follows our protagonist, "Idigaragua..." It is the bird: an
observer, a judge, a mirror.
As former City Pages editor Dylan Hicks wrote, Idigaragua is "A
five-part suite about globalization, Yankee arrogance, mystical
birds, pirates, and more than can be here explained, with music
sometimes reminiscent of Sondheim and Beethoven."
Originally written to be just another song, the story evolved into
something much larger in scope. In over two years, Idigaragua grew
into a five part "indie-rock opera," spanning an hour of tape.
Enter friend and collaborator Jeremey Catterton, returning to
Minneapolis from London eager to produce a performance for the new
project. With the combined musical and theatrical visions of Fort
Wilson Riot and Jeremey Catterton, Idigaragua brings together an
innovative performance featuring a collage of the arts.
The artistic staff includes: Jeremey Catterton (Director), Jacob
Mullis (FWR), Amy Hager (FWR), Joe Goggins (FWR), Ben Smith (FWR),
Alexis Cuttance (Stage Manager), Eva Signy (Production Designer),
Melissa Killian (Art Design), Cameron Brainard (Lighting
Designer), Jacob Grun (Sound Technician), Kevin Campbell (Video
Production), John Meilner (Video Production), Brian Squillace
(Set/Props/Puppet Design), Elizabeth Hara (Puppet Physics), Ryan
Zirngibl (Sets/Props Co-Designer), Yael Gun (Production Crew),
Jayne Deis (Production Crew) and Patty Hager (Production Crew).
The cast for Idigaragua includes Jesse Corder, Jayne Deis, Katie
Rose McLaughlin, Melissa Anne Murphy, Dan O'Neil, and features
Garrett Fitzgerald (journalist) and Fort Wilson Riot.
Fort Wilson Riot have been writing and performing together since
2005. They have gone on to achieve critical success, earning the
title of "Picked to Click" by the City Pages in 2005, being named
"Best Live Band" by the Star Tribune in 2005 and finding their
yet-unreleased epic Idigaragua winning "Best Song," in the Star
Tribune's year end poll in 2006.
