Ilgenfritz, James
The Ticket That Exploded; An Opera
James Ilgenfritz leads the Anagram Ensemble in a radical cut-up opera based on the 1962 novel of the same name by genre-breaking literary experimentalist William S. Burroughs. Full of abrasive guitars, shimmering strings, flailing saxophones, and fragmented linguistics, this opera uses the same radical cut-up techniques Burroughs pioneered in his writings.
