Its described a work in which the Wagnerian concept of total opera meets psychedelia in a poetic study. Composer, guitarist and multimedia artist Avital uses none of Barretts own work in the 77-minute production, but instead hes brought together a map of signs, motifs, sound metaphors, gestures and symbols that recall intimate and detailed aspects of Syds story. Promoters say: Noise For Syd is composed of seven allegorical tableaux, created of electronic sounds, live recordings, classical and electric instruments, art objects and sound objects, analog projections, video productions and stage action whose expressive language ranges from classical dance to Abramović performances, from Butoh theatre to Pina Bauschs dance theatre. In this work, the frame is not the long-established rock opera format, but is a truly multi-sensory poetic experience dedicated to Syd Barrett, the founder of Pink Floyd, seven years after his death.
