In four musical chapters, Jen Rosenblit stages absurd yet familiar situations: an auction and a dog race. Two events with a hellish pace that revolve entirely around an absent object. ElseWhere Rhapsody is a grand experiment that seeks to illuminate the poetic and political aspects of desire.
Beneath the humorous waterfall of words lurk philosophical questions. How does desire arise, how do we value things, what is the function of memory? To the sounds of polyphonic ballads and poetic lyrics, ElseWhere Rhapsody transports us to a crumbling landscape, an eclectic collage of genres, images, sounds, and movements.
