  • Angel Sanctuary, a Continuation…
    Angel Sanctuary, A Continuation… Written by Minako Takahashi Angel Sanctuary, a series about the end of the world by Yuki Kaori, has entered the Setsuna final chapter. It is appropriately titled "Heaven" in the recent issue of Hana to Yume. However, what makes Angel Sanctuary unique from other end-of-the-world genre stories is that it does not have a clear-cut distinction between good and evil. It also displays a variety of worldviews with a distinct and unique cast of characters that, for fans of Yuki Kaori, are quintessential Yuki Kaori characters. With the beginning of the new chapter, many questions and motives from the earlier chapters are answered, but many more new ones arise as readers take the plunge and speculate on the series and its end. In the "Hades" chapter, Setsuna goes to the Underworld to bring back Sara's soul, much like the way Orpheus went into Hades to seek the soul of his love, Eurydice. Although things seem to end much like that ancient tale at the end of the chapter, the readers are not left without hope for a resolution. While back in Heaven, Rociel returns and thereby begins the political struggle between himself and the regime of Sevothtarte and Metatron that replaced Rociel while he was sealed beneath the earth. However the focus of the story shifts from the main characters to two side characters, Katou and Tiara. Katou was a dropout at Setsuna's school who was killed by Setsuna when he was possessed by Rociel. He is sent to kill Setsuna in order for him to go to Heaven.

  • Powers of Divergence Emphasises Its Potential for the Emergence of the New and for the Problematisation of the Limits of Musical Semiotics
    ORPHEUS What does it mean to produce resemblance in the performance of written ORPHEUS music? Starting from how this question is commonly answered by the practice of interpretation in Western notated art music, this book proposes a move beyond commonly accepted codes, conventions, and territories of music performance. Appropriating reflections from post-structural philosophy, visual arts, and semiotics, and crucially based upon an artistic research project with a strong creative and practical component, it proposes a new approach to music performance. This approach is based on divergence, on the difference produced by intensifying Powers of the chasm between the symbolic aspect of music notation and the irreducible materiality of performance. Instead of regarding performance as reiteration, reconstruction, and reproduction of past musical works, Powers of Divergence emphasises its potential for the emergence of the new and for the problematisation of the limits of musical semiotics. Divergence Lucia D’Errico is a musician and artistic researcher. A research fellow at the Orpheus Institute (Ghent, Belgium), she has been part of the research project MusicExperiment21, exploring notions of experimentation in the performance of Western notated art music. An Experimental Approach She holds a PhD from KU Leuven (docARTES programme) and a master’s degree in English literature, and is also active as a guitarist, graphic artist, and video performer. to Music Performance P “‘Woe to those who do not have a problem,’ Gilles Deleuze exhorts his audience owers of Divergence during one of his seminars. And a ‘problem’ in this philosophical sense is not something to dispense with, a difficulty to resolve, an obstacle to eliminate; nor is it something one inherits ready-made.

  • Orpheus, Camus and COVID-19
    - Alone Together: separation and unity in the reception of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice ‘Audience’ reception: Orpheus, Camus and COVID-19 ‘Cottard et Tarrou, qui s’étaient seulement levés, restaient seuls en face d’une des images de ce qui était leur vie d’alors : la peste sur la scène sous l’aspect d’un historien.’1 In Albert Camus’ work of pestilence fiction La Peste, the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is only explicitly mentioned once. When the city of Oran enters ‘lockdown’ following the outbreak of a plague reminiscent of the Black Death, a travelling opera company finds itself unable to leave. The only opera in their repertoire is played every Friday evening to crowds of anxious citizens, who flock back again and again. This opera is Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice. However, one evening, the singer performing the role of Orfeo dies unexpectedly on stage. Suddenly taken ill, he collapses ‘d’une façon grotesque, bras et jambes écartés.’2 Camus’ decision to recast Orpheus as a plague victim forestalls the opera’s happy-ending and the blurs the boundaries between the illusion of stage performance and the fictional ‘reality’ of life in Oran. Solemnly filing out of this theatre-turned-morgue, the citizens of Oran find themselves in a hellish world in which the real and the unreal have been united. Camus has therefore undermined the assumed ‘distance’ between stage and reality that is so integral to the interpretative framework with which a reader approaches any text. In turn, the slippage inherent between stage, fiction and reality may alert the reader to the allegorical function of the text.
