About the Program
Presented by Western Front, Empire and Au pair was a spoken word opera by Robert Ashley, featuring singing by Jacqueline Humbert and live mixing and sound production by Tom Hamilton. Empire is an allegory about the establishment of one of the largest corporations in the world. Au pair explores the often hilarious relationships of adventure-seeking childcare workers from Europe with their affluent American employers. A screening of Robert Ashely's works was shown at Pacific Cinémathèque on November 12, 2001.Artist
