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".
