Burroughs would have been 100 this year. Though he never would have made it that long. Toronto-based saxophonist, composer and Burroughs scholar Glen Hall has long been a disciple of Burroughs and here he takes his inspiration to new heights. Rub Out the Word is an extended multi-media performance work. It features an actor, an 11-piece orchestra, electroacoustic sound and visual projections under the direction of composer/Burroughs scholar Glen Hall. Hall uses Burroughs’ cut-up technique in creating compositions, electroacoustic sound montages, and text for the actor/narrator, all based on characters and scenes from “Naked Lunch”, “Nova Express”, “The Wild Boys”, “The Yage Letters” and “Last Words of Hassan Sabbah.”
Come dressed as your favorite feminist/queer/anti-racist theorist! And support Theory Boner zine compiled by Jenna Lee Forde and Mary Tremonte!
