Un ritratto dell'inimitabile Ivor Cutler attraverso le sue storie, le poesie, le canzoni: The Beautiful Cosmos of Ivor Cutler, una produzione teatrale di Vanishing Point in collaborazione con il National Theatre of Scotland, con primi appuntamenti pubblici tra aprile e maggio 2014. Una sbirciatina alle prove è in un video in http://vimeo.com/88890702

The Beautiful Cosmos of Ivor Cutler is a musical and visual journey based on the songs, stories and poems of one of Scotland’s most iconic exiles. A Jewish, Scottish, Londoner, Ivor Cutler was a wholehearted eccentric whose music and words range from the whimsical to the disturbing; had he been born in Russia he'd perhaps be a Danil Kharms or a Gogol. Here, Mr Cutler stands alone. A true maverick, Ivor Cutler was the only artist to have been played on BBC Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4. He was signed by all the major record labels, influenced the Beatles and was championed by John Peel. The Beautiful Cosmos of Ivor Cutler weaves together the music, prose, poetry and biography of Ivor Cutler to tell the story of a remarkable life, from birth, through boyhood, to old age and death. Whether you are already a fan or want to explore his music and life story for the first time, The Beautiful Cosmos celebrates the work of one of Scotland’s truly unique artists in a production by the ever inventive Vanishing Point in collaboration with the National Theatre of Scotland.
