Final Academy Documents (Burroughs & Giorno, 1982)

[el_saturn]

In 1982 David Dawson, Roger Ely and Genesis P-Orridge organized a showcase tour of Britain. The Final Academy, based on and featuring works of and inspired by William Burroughs. Burroughs influenced bands such as 23 Skidoo, Psychic TV, and Cabaret Voltaire were booked to perform, various of his film collaborations (with Anthony Balch and Brion Grysin) were screened, there were poetry readings by John Giorno and installations featuring Beat related works were set up. The highlight of the tour, of course, was the appearance by Burroughs himself at each event, where he read from several of his works, in particular "The Place of Dead Roads."

On 4th October The Final Academy came to Manchester and Burroughs' reading was booked at the famous Hacienda Club, run by innovative record label Factory. There were screenings of the writer's collaborative films including a re-edit of "Ghosts at No. 9" by Genesis P-Orridge and the classic "Towers Open Fire" along with the much anticipated appearance by the Literary Outlaw himself. His performance, as always, was spellbinding, his unmistakable drawl adding so much depth of character to the written word. Fascinating, often disturbing, the excerpts he chose were chock full of satirical observation and deadpan wit confirming that until you hear Burroughs read you never really appreciate just why he is heralded a genius.

The Manchester show was videotaped by Factory's video production wing, Ikon, and features edited highlights of Burroughs' readings, and performance by John Giorno.
