Hans Dagelet & Rosa

The reason for this homage to Captain Beefheart is the 1969 album ‘Trout Mask Replica’ with which he astonished both friend and foe. The music was too extreme for a wide audience, but made him into a legend. The angular poetry of both the language and the music still sounds as new and stimulating as it did then, and has also been a benchmark for Rosa itself. The material from ‘Trout Mask Replica’ has been circumscribed, turned inside out and translated by Rosa. Its anarchic chaos has been retained but unravelled, and is thus accessible to a new audience. ‘Beefheart, Pork Treat Musical’ will make staunch Beefheart fans rejoice, and pleasantly surprise Beefheart novices. It’s wonderful music to watch too!
