Tears of Dionysius is an ambitious & provocative artwork that combines Lars Graugaards modern musical language in a score for 18 players & reciter with Thomas Hejlesens film of edited scenes from long forgotten erotic movies. Along 13 scenes, the work treats the history & the predetermined nature of mans sexuality. Our present society integrates sexuality into all kinds of commercial & everyday contexts which at first glance suggests a liberation of ideals & manners. But such a radical act of self realisation is contrived & false, & Tears of Dionysius is a reaction to this fact. The text is poetic settings of key concepts from Friedrich Nietzsches essay Geburt der Tragödie. Production supported by Danish Composers Societys Production Pool/KODAs Fund for Social & Cultural Purposes & KODAs Collective Blank Tape Remuneration. Source material for the film consists.. .
