Henry House

A micro-opera for the common human being. A shadow figure makes his way through a frigid landscape, reflecting on a life that made no mark. Henry House is an expression of a kind of American “everyone,” with all of their faults and false footing, their moments of success and regret. The work features a cento text based on heavily manipulated phrases from Reiner Stach’s Kafka biography and John Berryman’s Dream Songs . The texts were stitched together and compulsively rewritten by Nate Wooley in order to create a loose and billowing character, Henry House, whose life is eulogized by an unknown narrator. The work for this film stemmed from studies for a larger cycle of Henry House songs released on January 16th on Ideologic Organ, but Jen Mesch has found a new dimension to the House songs by putting the composer’s body in space and time . Whether he is the narrator or the eponymous House, we are never quite sure.
