Once again these heroines of the everyday norm \u2013 \u2018N\u2019 \u2013 are launching an opulent, new program of musical performance.  Their joyful and passionate repertoire includes cheery, rowdy songs like the paintings of  Breughel, which allow pain and ugliness, sin, aging and fat to appear as something beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>\nInspired by Hieronymus Bosch\u2019s bizarre mythical creatures and created in the tradition of genre pictures, Les Reines Prochaines\u2019 new songs are both fantastic and (ironically) moralistic. For example, one song uses theroundabout of an ordinary traffic circle as a metaphor for life. Another is based in the classic scenario of a family gathering. Discussing the distribution of the heritage over dinner in the common spirit of today\u2019s global greediness, the family members already fight over the pot roast. Indeed the songs of Les Reines Prochaines are crowded with characters, as when an alter ego longs for its original counterpart. With the surreal elegance ofRen\u00e9 Magritte, Les Reines Prochaines consolidate reality and dream into audio plays of delicately absurd pointedness. Monica the Good Who Loves Evil proclaims a lifestyle of \u2018being cool\u2019 as in the cold-blooded passion driving Judith Beheading Holofernes in the radiant painting by Artemisia Gentileschi.<\/p>\n<p>\nAs fresh as ever, Les Reines Prochaines extract their material out of the everyday mess of normal madness, absurdity and rebellious capriciousness. Composing songs as miniatures and assemblages of image, speech, sound and movement the works are precise, yet subversively ambiguous. <\/p>\n<p>\nIn fact, going beyond meaning Les Reines Prochaines don\u2019t make any sense, but rather they are sensual; as well, Les Reines Prochaines don\u2019t comment about politics, they are political; and, Les Reines Prochaines don\u2019t make art, they are art.<\/p>\n<p>Links:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinesprochaines.com\/\">reinesprochaines.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.festsaal-kreuzberg.de\/\">festsaal-kreuzberg.de<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/lamoustache.org\/\">lamoustache.org<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bildwechselberlin.wordpress.com\/\">bildwechselberlin.wordpress.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Moustache &#038; Bildwechsel Berlin present: LES REINES PROCHAINES (Basel, CH) + DJ Stef the Cat + DJ Pinkshot date: 2.
