TSARZI – ‘Gone to the Dogs’

Alone in her shabby bedsit, faded and forgotten Britannia sits, singing grief and lost glory.

Moving through a world of shadows from Arthurian myth to Brexit malaise, transhistorical songs explore imperial nostalgia, war memorialisation and an impossible longing for a lost golden age. Looped madrigals and cabaret cantatas mix with violin odes to evoke the fractured rituals of a magpie past.

A theatrical song cycle at once both astute and absurd, Gone to the Dogs is a show about isolation and lost identity – both of self and nation; of the tyranny of memory and the fear of irrelevancy.

With support from BBC 6Music-lauded melancholic songsmith ICHABOD WOLF.
