Premiering in São Paulo in 1996 and receiving its North American premiere in San Francisco in 1997, the production used digitally manipulated projections of Blake’s paintings and engravings, viewed through 3-D glasses, to create an immersive stage environment in which performers appeared to move through Blake’s illuminated imagery.\n\nRather than presenting a linear biography, the work staged a sequence of imaginative and emotional moments from Blake’s life and visionary world. Choral performance, orchestral and rock music, dance, pantomime, projected imagery, and limited spoken text combined to translate Blake’s poetry and mythological figures—including Catherine Blake, Urizen, Thel, and Los—into a contemporary theatrical experience. The production aimed to introduce new audiences to the intensity and visual imagination of Blake’s illuminated books through an expansive, technologically experimental form of live performance.", "type": "Video", "format": "video/mpeg4", "language": "eng", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/BL97-VH-005.html" }, { "title": "Forest Fang Blind Messenger", "creator": "George Coates", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/BM98-CS-001.html" }, { "title": "Blind Messenger Audio Compilation | June 12th, 1998", "creator": "George Coates", "date": "1998", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/BM98-CS-002.html" }, { "title": "Blind Messengers, 8/15", "creator": "George Coates", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/BM98-CS-003.html" }, { "title": "Blind Messengers Rehearsal Compilation", "creator": "George Coates", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/BM98-CS-004.html" }, { "title": "Blind Messengers | Music Compilation", "creator": "George Coates", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/BM98-CS-005.html" }, { "title": "Steve Reich: The Desert Music Excerpt Part 4", "creator": "George Coates", "date": "1985", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/DM92-CS-001.html" }, { "title": "Steve Reich: The Desert Music Excerpt Part 5", "creator": "George Coates", "date": "1985", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/DM92-CS-002.html" }, { "creator": "George Coates", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/DM92-CS-003.html" }, { "title": "The Desert Music: NYPL Lincoln Archives", "creator": "George Coates", "date": "1985", "type": "Audio", "object_thumb": "https://storage.googleapis.com/thegeorgecoatesarchive/gc%20archive%20thumbnails/DM92-VH-001%20%7C%20Desert%20Music%20NYPLLincoln%20Center%20Archives_thumbnail.png", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/DM92-VH-001.html" }, { "title": "International Theatre (George Coates) | 12-17-1983", "creator": "George Coates", "date": "1983", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/INT-CS-001.html" }, { "title": "GCPW: NPR Broadcast Morning Edition | December 22nd, 1992", "creator": "George Coates", "date": "1992", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/INT-CS-002.html" }, { "title": "Forum: Art & Technology - KQED-FM | February 24th, 1995", "creator": "George Coates", "date": "1995", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/INT-CS-003.html" }, { "title": "KQED Interview/Review (Could be dub of #55)", "creator": "George Coates", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/INT-CS-004.html" }, { "title": "George & Steve Jobs - 4/27/1988", "creator": "George Coates", "date": "1988", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/INT-CS-005.html" }, { "title": "101 California KGO Radio", "creator": "George Coates", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/INT-CS-006.html" }, { "title": "KPFA: Spalding Gray and George Coates - August 9th 1982", "creator": "George Coates", "date": "1982", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/INT-CS-007.html" }, { "title": "George Coates KALW", "creator": "George Coates", "type": "Audio", "object_location": "", "reference_url": "/items/INT-CS-008.html" }, { "title": "Passion!
