What is a Tetralogy?   

   A  Tetralogy  is a body of work/art composed of four pieces or elements (such as the four operas which make up Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen).  Our use of the term is with reference to the tetralogies of ancient Greece, where each chosen playwright at the festival of Dionysus presented three tragedies followed by a satyr play, all shown in one sitting.

    The Ccollanan Pachacamac Tetralogy is composed of three tragedies:  Ccollanan Pachacamac, Ricuy Auccacunac, & Yahuarniy , with the satyr play Hichascancuta. Each is a truly silent film with no dialogue where all elements of the musical and visual creation have been subjected to the surrealist principles of automatism and objective chance.

    We have been given special permission by the Warner Grand Theatre and the city of Los Angeles to have a one night only production of all four films of the Ccollanan Pachacamac Tetralogy complete with a three dimensional musical and theatrical component.  This screening and theatre presentation will take place on Wednesday May 29 2013 at the Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro and will end with the world premiere of Hichascancuta.

     

$1800 ---  our  fundraising goal?!

      The LA Opera has an annual budget of $60 million. Yuyanapaq has, well, less than that.  Much less.

      In an effort, though, to offer a presentation on that same level (albeit in a different realm of artistic language), Yuyanapaq hopes to raise $1800 to cover partial production costs (set design, costumes, stage lighting) as well as theatre rental and technical costs. Any funds raised over this amount will go towards the remaining costs of the production. 

      Yuyanapaq wishes to thank all those who donate, whether $9 or $584,  for helping to stage this unique multimedia event.  As bonuses for those who donate, Yuyanapaq is pressing a limited edition run of 13 copies of the satyr play Hichascancuta on gold dvd; this will be the ONLY pressing of this fourth and final film.  In addition, Yuyanapaq is offering four unique and one of a kind artpieces that were used in the filming of the tetralogy.

Yuyanapaq????

     The word  "yuyanapaq"  comes from the Quechua language of ancient Peru and means  "to remember".

      The titles of each film in the Ccollanan Pachacamac tetralogy come from the last sentence spoken by the Inca Tupac Amaru before he was beheaded in 1572.  This tetralogy references not only the ancient american symbology and knowledge of plants and celestial bodies, but the functioning of thought itself as "pure psychic automatism" amidst the world of dreams and the subconscious.

      Musically, Yuyanapaq is composed of Chaupituta (on drums/percussion/mallets), Hurinpacha (on bowed guitar, bass, concertina), and Yuyanapaq (on keyboards/samples/theremin), along with guest performers.

 

The Warner Grand Theatre

      Yuyanapaq wishes to thank Lee Sweet of the Warner Grand Theatre for the opportunity to perform in this historic venue.  The Warner Brothers  (of Warner Bros. films fame) had three "cinema palaces" constructed in the early 1930s --  one in beverly hills, one in huntington park, and one in san pedro.  The Warner Grand Theatre in San Pedro is the only one of the three still standing in her original glory, and is one of the only LA area theatres with a true orchestra pit.

       Please join Yuyanapaq for this ONE NIGHT ONLY screening and multimedia production, which will occur one hundred years exactly, (to the night) of the premiere of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps (in Paris on may 29 1913).
