 PETER GREENAWAY

Recently awarded a CBE in the New Year's honours list, outrageous and controversial, Peter Greenaway is one of cinema's great antagonists.  Here, produced by Dutch outfit NoTV, Greenaway will challenge the 'tyrannies' of cinema as we know it with the UK premiere of his Tulse Luper VJ performance.

   

Disquieted by the inability of traditional cinema to give us the rich potential excitements worthy of the 21st Century, Greenaway questions established modes of production and consumption and provokes us to consider the tyrannical power of the frame, the actor, the script, of celebrity and even the camera itself. Looking for new models of expanded cinema, and totally unafraid of decrying our cinematic heroes and pointing the finger at us, the audience, Greenaway could be misconstrued as arrogant, if it wasn't for the effortless charm and wicked grin with which he makes his case.  

  

With an intense musical backdrop provided by Anglo-Dutch DJ Radar, Greenaway mixes and juxtaposes elements from the 92 Tulse Luper 'stories' via a purpose built touch screen interface, orchestrating a multi-stream spectacular.  

    

Reimagined as a 'real-time image conductor', with this show Greenaway liberates himself from traditional cinematic linearity and adds another intriguing chapter to the vast 'Tulse Luper Suitcases' phenomenon, his most enigmatic and ambitious project to date, one that he himself calls "...a social and political manifesto about the future of cinema"
