Synopsis

Art. Collage.

Alaric Sumner was my close friend, colleague and fellow-poet, generous-spirited, contemplative, sociologically re- appraising, intelligent, witty and patient. He was an active force in the Gay Liberation Movement as early as 1972. His productions for the stage were brilliant, as had always been his dynamic, self- discovering texts. [...] EPOS, A SONG FOR ALARIC is a result of his death on March 24th, 2000. Because he died very suddenly my side of our dialogue continued. I needed a language for speaking into absence. The creation of SONG is made with mobile components representing incidents, ideas and topics within a luminosity and shadings.
