Stereo is DELIGHTED to be bringing John Moran to Glasgow, to perform his latest solo music/theater work - Amsterdam.
Originally this Scottish debut of *Amsterdam* was going to be a co-production between The Arches and Stereo. In fact it was in The Arches that we first saw John Moran's incredible composition/choreography/lip-syncing/achingly explicit self-narrative/social commentary. As it stands we're going to be flying solo without the funding and in-kind contributions from The Arches, after the venue was forced into administration by Glasgow City Council licensing board back in June.
Don't miss this rare chance to see John do his thing.
And big love from Stereo to all at The Arches past present and future xox #savethearches

More on John Moran:
American composer / performer John Moran, has been called the 'protege of Philip Glass', having been discovered by Glass at a young age. In 2003, Glass was quoted as saying, "I am convinced that there is no more important composer working today, than John Moran." His works of musictheater have featured performers such as Allen Ginsberg, Iggy Pop, Uma Thurman and Julia Stiles, receiving numerous awards internationally. The Boston Globe has written, "Moran is a modern-day Mozart." Having been known as a leading figure in New York theater in the 1990's, Moran then developed a new, and very simplified style of presenting theater, and began touring internationally under the name 'John Moran...and his neighbor, Saori' - with Japanese dancer, Saori Tsukada. Before the artist relocated to Europe and Asia, in 2008, The New York Times called these performances, "One of the most important and innovative artistic collaborations of New York City.", and TimeOut Magazine wrote, "With a one-hour show, Moran has reaffirmed his reputation as one of the most important (and underrated) figures in the avant-garde."
This solo work was commissioned (2011) by Amsterdam Fringe and Mayfest, Bristol. It won the title BEST OF FRINGE at Spoleto Fringe (Italy) and Amsterdam Fringe (Netherlands), and has since been performed across Germany, Poland, Netherlands, Italy and UK.
