<p>Interview with Josep Mestres Quadreny, a Catalan and postrnodern cornposer, where there are included all the different aspects of his musical training between 1945 and 1955; he refers both to his country's situation and to other Catalan contemporary rnusicians. Mestres Quadreny also rnakes a historical and sociological analysis of the traditional genders of musical theatre, such as opera, ballet and «zarzuela» (a particular Spanish version of the German sing-spiel) and a personal reflection both on the present experirnentation in the field of postmodern music (electronic music and “aléatoire” music) and on the limits of the musical script. He devotes a great part of that interview to explain in detail some of his experiences together with Joan Brossa, a Catalan and postmodern poet and playwright, on the use of the elements of the traditional concert in the theatre, a field of the postmodern show where we can consider themselves the pioneers.</p>...

<p>RoseLee Goldberg's book Performance; Live Art 1909 to the Present, published in 1979 indicated in its closing chapter that performance art was moving more and more into the realm of entertaintment, using forms such as cabaret, television sitcoms and rock n'roll as the basis for new work, away from the more esoteric and often paradoxical work of the seventies, with its insistence on ideas over product, and concept over commonly accepted professional execution. Indeed, as this extract from the update of Ms. Goldberg's book Performance (plublished in the fall of 1987) shows, her predictions for the eighties were remarkably accurate. The new generations have created a body of work that is obsessed with the popular media. Indeed, the old cry by artists to break clown the barriers between life and art has, in their work, meant the breakdown between art and the media, often referred to as one between High art and Low. Ms. Goldberg describes the theatrical and highly professional mood of eighties performance, concluding at the same time that performance, despite its popularisation by the media, despite art school curricula and dissertations, remains an open ended and unpredictable medium for artistic experimentation.</p>...

<p>The performance is a new attitude of interpretation andadventure which asks from the audience a different reading, a very different reading from the one asked by a conventional performance or avant-garde. A reading which comes from the tragic bottom of the inner attitude of human beings where the interest of emotions and feelings are above individual protagonism. A perception which requires, on the art of the performer and the audience, sorne distance. That is Albert Vidal's strictly personal point of view, a Catalan creator who, in a corversation about the limits of the performance from a theatrical viewpoint, explains his conception of the performance as the key to contemporary reading, the commitment of the artist of the future and the role of the audience in it. Albert Vidal's background is full of complete personal creations which come from the mime and progressively break with the conventional theatrical relationship in arder to bring theatrical languages to the limits of their imaginary conventions, those involving them in an integral play with perception. L'aperitiu, Cos, Pare Antropològic, Home Urbà, El venedor de gelats and the recent Exposició viva de 40 personatges, where he does not act, are his most famous productions, sorne of which have been widely diffused in several countries.</p>...
