The work of British band The Tiger Lillies straddles the border between cabaret, Brechtian songs, punk and contemporary music. For the new project Zde jsem člověkem! Here I am Human! The Tiger Lillies have created a series of songs which thematically allude to François Rabelais’s medieval novel Gargantua and Pantagruel. Their lyrics are characterized by the distinctive logic of depravity, “the world upside down”, constant oscillation between society “above” and “below” and the emphasis on various manifestations of carnality.
Irish playwright Jocelyn Clarke, who in the past has worked with American director Anne Bogart among others, has set against The Tiger Lillies’ explicit lyrics the concept of etiquette and the rules of social behaviour, which unlike the world of Gargantua attempt to suppress all manifestations of carnality and the emotions.
