In November 2011, there was yet another production of David Jackson's show in the beautiful lakeside city of Como. This work involves a brass ensemble, a choir, a rock band, a team of disabled Soundbeam players and movement performers, Jackson's saxophones, a conductor and me. For each production, these considerable forces have to be recruited, organised and rehearsed in different places before David and I are parachuted in at the last minute. It's a recipe for disaster, but Italians have a genius for producing art out of chaos. The Como show was particularly strong visually, and produced these striking images.
