MIASMA







is a project of words and music by

MYRA DAVIES + GUDRUN GUT


DAVIES & GUT began working together in Berlin in 1991. Their first stage production, with Japanese Butoh choreographer Hiroko Tamano, was "Miasma, a Butoh Opera" staged in Banff, Canada in late 1992.
In 1993 their first CD MIASMA was released and they toured in Europe in 1993 and 1994, a thematic collection evoking the dialectic between reason and desire.
In 1996 Gudrun Gut and Myra Davies created their second large cast, mixed media music theatre project. "Miasma: Stupid as a Rose" was produced by Maenad Theatre for their New Voices Festival and performed at The Calgary Centre for the Performing Arts May 13-18, 1996. The show was a surreal dream stream of facts and fantasies burbling out of that awful time between puperty and menopause in a musical landscape.
DAVIES & GUT continue to wrestle with the dialectic between individual personality in a female context, and the influence of western cultural heritage in their new CD, MIASMA 2.
In MIASMA 2, the humour is gentler and more embracing; narratives less obsessive and relentless. It has generosity and more space - for the music and the listener. But it has sharp teeth still and a 'cut to the bone' attitude.





NATURE, LOVE, MEAT






"DECONSTRUCTED FANTASIES"
is how Myra describes MIASMA 2,
"shared fantasies; deconstructed and reconstructed
from our personal and distinctly female point of view".
