Prometheus
Rebound
"Some people say we're all looking for the meaning of life. I don't
think that's what we're looking for at all. I think what we're looking
for is the experience of being alive."
Joseph Campbell
The Greek God Prometheus is known as the divine protector of the Human Race. He stole a flame from the Fire-God Vulcan and gave it to Men and taught them how to use it to make tools and weapons and art. For this act of kindness Prometheus was condemned by Zeus to a life of everlasting torment. The opening is built around audio samples collected from radio interviews with and between Bill Moyers, Joseph Campbell, Huston Smith, Dr. D.T. Suzuki and Sam Keen. The middle section is based on Aeschylus' classic Greek tragedy "Prometheus Bound". The last section is built around a tarot card reading by Mari Luna Martin and the poetry of Lord Byron. All the music was composed and recorded by Barry Gremillion.
