The Perfumed Garden

NZ Opera is going to do it my way, or they're not going to get to do it at all.

That's what I get to say as a public figure that they think is a draw.

I refuse to be Beder. I refuse to be on stage in any capacity because I'm a composer.

I want full nudity. It's not a negotiation. I want full nudity and I want the aria to be about the man's penis. If Dave's not willing to write that, then I will. - This is also me shaming them for the brownwashing of Voices of Aotearoa. I think Beder and most of the principal cast should be practicing Muslims. Maybe not the King, but the women. I don't want to do a codpiece Arabian Nights where white people laugh at the funny customs of another culture. - I want a giant dildo on the stage smacking people in the face! I want beheadings. I want it to be raw and real because the other reason I want to do this piece is to shame the rich Wellingtonians and their treatment of sex workers.
