British groups plan Kadafi show
A radical British dance-music band has teamed up with the English National Opera to produce a stage show on the life of Libya’s enigmatic leader, Moammar Kadafi.
The London opera house, Britain’s second largest, said Thursday it had commissioned the production from the award-winning Asian Dub Foundation.
Rapper JC001 will play Kadafi, while the opera’s chorus will play the Libyan leader’s entourage of glamorous female bodyguards.
The production, which will not be completed until 2006, will explore relations between the West and the Middle East.
