Peter Gabriel: OVO CD Track Listing
Peter Gabriel
OVO (2000)
Background\n==========\nOver the past year, Peter Gabriel has been working with a team of people to create \nThe Millennium Show, the central attraction at the heart of the Millennium Dome \nin Greenwich. This year has seen intense activity and determination to bring the show \nto life and marry the technology and many varied skills of the creators and performers. \nThe show combines specially developed and created show equipment: rocketing \nbungee stilts and sail diver rigs that enable amazing feats of skill and daring, \ndesigned to thrill and amaze the audience. Every few hours, a crowd of up to 12,000 \npeople will gather in the central arena, a vast entertainment space the size of \nTrafalgar Square at the heart of the dome, one of the largest undercover performance \nspaces in the world. As they gather for the 20 minute preshow, they will be \nentertained by performers moving amongst the audience inside incredible \ncontraptions, while the crew move the equipment into place, in readiness for the \nshow to begin. What follows is a 28 minute live aerial and acrobatic spectacle that \ninvolves 61 performers at any one time, utilising the full 50 metres of the dome's \ninterior height. The show has been conceived for the dome by Mark Fisher and \nPeter Gabriel.\n\nThe Story\n========\nThe show tells the story of three stages of our evolution, through the lives of three \ngenerations of a family. It is the story of a family in transition, divided by internal \nconflict and by the great changes going on around them. It is also a story of forbidden \nlove. A father who loves the earth and everything that grows from it finds a way to work \nwith nature, even though he only knows one way - his way. The mother, who sits at her \nloom and sees the future emerging in the patterns she weaves, is unable to reconcile \nher feuding family and eventually turns against her own son. The son, with a passion \nfor machines, starts a revolution, which was designed to liberate his people, but \nends up enslaving them. And the daughter, whose quiet and enchanted childhood \nends when she falls in love with one of the mysterious skypeople, an outsider, \neventually defies both her father and brother for the Skyboy's love. The Skyboy turns \nfrom romeo to rebel, as he watches his people being excluded and oppressed. \nTheir baby, OVO, born in the time of the flood, is sent in a floating nest that sails the \nsky, into an uncertain future.\n
