Amadeus: Reflected--The "moments" recorded

Karen Minihan

On 10th July, 2021, eight of the original cast members of Amadeus attended a workshop in a garden on a fantastic summer's day. The individual work--performance, writing and recording--ultimately became the focus of the day.

All the work came from the atmosphere and collective creativity involved in the original production of Amadeus in 2019--hence the name, Amadeus: Reflected, for the exhibition as a whole. The theme for the individual work was:  pleasure / protection.

As each actor recorded, it became clear that it deserved to be heard entirely.

Here is the full recording of the performers: Tessa Gibson, Jane Hurley, Clara McGowan, Cate McLoughlin, Alyn Fenn, Terri Leiber, Clair Lalor and Julia Zagar with interventions to ask questions by Todd Billeci and Karen Minihan.

You can read further in blog form, about the original production of Amadeus at karenminihan.ie/the-amadeus-project and a full description of the exhibition in August in the Blue House Gallery, Schull at karenminihan.ie/amadeus-reflected.

Please forgive any odd background sounds, we hat not realised this recording would be as important as it turned out to be.
