David Jackson

THE HOUSE THAT CRIED, COMO, ITALY, NOVEMBER 2011

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.
