Dead center between twin spotlights, microphones and music stands, looking both angelic and wraith-like Diamanda Galás presents herself as an explorer of the ultimate in solitary confinement; the human mind ravaged by mental illness and/or AIDS-related dementia. Vena Cava features a more inward Galás than that seen in Plague Mass, the celebrated work she perfumed last year--in evolving forms-- at St. John the Divine, The Kitchen and elsewhere. Its aural environment is at once intensely claustrophobic and distressingly vast, with electronic drones, cricket chirps and gospel songs echoing endlessly in this seemingly infinite emptiness. Her writings embody the psyche of someone apparently at the threshold of death, portraying the fragmenting persona's warring factions. Galás's shaman-like gifts of self-transformation and self-transcendence are dramatically evident in Vena Cava. (The title refers to the body's major artery that returns blood rom the heart). Catch phrases, multiplication tables, obscenities and heartfelt please for love are repeated--frantically, obsessively--as Galás' protagonist struggles to achieve some sort of interior logic. In the works brilliant culmination, she grants the audience a moment of lucidity, pleads for remembrance from those who loved her and faces her final "judge" to a distorted, deafening rendition of Silent Night. Vena Cava is one more astonishing offering from our greatest vocal performer of her generation. - Robert R.
