| Description: | Shame Chorus, is a new project developed in association with the Freud Museum London which takes as its starting point Sigmund Freud’s famous ‘talking cure’ conceived to uncover hidden, repressed and unconscious desires. Shame Chorus is a collaboration with world-renowned psychoanalyst and cultural critic Susie Orbach, and the London Gay Men’s Chorus. In a series of psychoanalytic interviews, Susie Orbach invited members of the Chorus to recall memories of feeling shamed - events that may have, in part, shaped their feelings about themselves and their sexuality. Taking these recorded and anonymous interviews as their inspiration, established and emerging composers from a range of music genres have turned these memories into original songs and choral works. The London Gay Men’s Chorus will sing these new works in a compelling live concert event that is a collective act of catharsis, community, celebration and liberation. |
