'''''Delusion of the Fury''''' is a stage play by the American composer [[Harry Partch]]. The first draft for a new theater work for singers, mimes, dancers, and musicians, ''Cry from Another Darkness'', was completed by Partch on December 30, 1964, and the second draft, dated January 17, 1965, was a fuller, longer, re-titled ''Delusion of the Fury''. The work was originally conceived as a play in two acts, with a dramatic first act and a comedic second. Partch completed writing of the music on March 17, 1966. The piece employs Partch's original system of micro-tonality, and was written for the largest assembly of his custom-made instruments used in any of his works.<ref name="Gilmore1998">{{cite book|last=Gilmore|first=Bob|title=Harry Partch: A Biography|year=1998|publisher=Yale University Press|location=New Haven, Conn.}}</ref> The instruments were an important part of the stage set.<ref>{{cite web|last=Tyranny|first=Gene|title=Delusion of the Fury|url=http://www.allmusic.com/composition/delusion-of-the-fury-a-ritual-of-dream-delusion-opera-in-2-acts-for-voices-large-ensemble-of-partch-instruments-mc0002357908|publisher=Allmusic.com}}</ref> Delusion of The Fury was premiered at the UCLA Playhouse on January 9, 1969, where it was recorded for Columbia Records.

Act I is based on the Japanese Noh drama Atsumori, which tells the story of a warrior who has been slain in battle. The one who killed the warrior has traveled in remorse to the scene of the murder, so that he may repent. The dead warrior reappears as a ghost to the man. Then his son enters, searching in the belief that he may see a vision of his deceased father. The ghost-father is filled with resentment and lives again through the ordeal of the battle of his death. Eventually, faced with the uselessness of his anger, he seeks reconciliation with both his son and the slayer.<ref>http://www.the-noh.com/en/plays/data/program_008.html</ref>
Without a doubt, DJ Kilimix (Killick Saint Jean) is an emerging star in the entertainment industry. Whether you find him in the dance clubs behind the turntables or in a comedy club behind the mic, there seems to be no limit to the talent of this versatile performer.


Act II is based on an Ethiopian folk tale, "Justice". The story is as follows: a young man is preparing a meal over a fire when an old goatherder approaches, searching for a lost kid. She asks the man if he has seen the kid. The man is deaf, does not understand the question, and subsequently gestures the old woman away. She misunderstands this as direction towards the location of the lost kid, wanders off, and finds it, and returns to offer thanks. Upon her return, the man grows angry and belligerent for being disturbed a second time, and a crowd gathers. The villagers force the two to consult with the Justice of the Peace, who is both deaf and myopic. In yet another misunderstanding, the judge takes the quarrel as a marital dispute, and orders the two to go home together with their 'child'.<ref>{{cite web|last=Nabawi|first=J'miah|title=Justice (An Ethiopan Folk Tale)|url=http://www.evoca.com/everyone_recording.jsp?rid=192009|publisher=Evoca}}</ref>
For over 7 years, Kilimix has been hitting the South Florida as a DJ/Remixer/M.C./Graphics Designer He quickly went from backyard and house parties to hyping thousands at desert raves and different dance venues throughout the country.
Under the former partnership Kilimix and Salussa, he DJ the Haitian Flag Day Festival in 2007 by himself and celebrity parties, award shows, concerts and turned a hosting gig for Universal “NightClub” New Year Eve Celebration into "Haitian Festival Party" in Downtown Delray. During the two year run of this popular outdoor event, Kilimix was able to showcase his talents on the microphone as an MC and his mastery behind the turntables as a DJ.


These stories illustrate the overarching theme of Delusion of the Fury: the delusory nature and futility of human anger, with the second including a critique of communal justice. Delusion of the Fury thus brings together tragedy and farce into one work, reminiscent of the ancient Greek tradition of following a tragedy with a satyr play. Partch, who faced injustice and rejection from the society in which he worked and lived, may have offered this work as a gesture of self-admonishment, a way of confronting his own anger towards his world. Danlee Mitchell claimed that Delusion of the Fury was "Harry's reconciliation with the world."<ref name="Gilmore1998" />
While his spinning was garnering Kilimix lots of bookings and attention, it was his quick wit and comedic dance timing behind the micre that brought him increasing opportunities to serveas MC and host for many of the shows and radio. As a host, Kilimix delighted audiences everywhere with his rare ability to walk onto any stage, pick up a microphone and immediately connect with any audience regardless of age or demographic. His "gift of gab" as well as being fluent in English, Creole, French and Spanish has landed him many hosting gigs, most notably co-hosting in WPBR 1340AM in 2001 with Hallan Daphnis, and doing double duty as host and opening act for Haitian super star in Groove Lakay at Prodium des Jeunes (Gonaives). As a host, Kilimix quickly built a reputation as a true entertainer. Hosting led to the discovery of his newfound passion: stand-up comedy dance. After years of countless requests from fans and friends, Kilimix finally made his first song debut in 2013 (Ki DJ sa?) at Ex-Tuxedo Night Club in FL.

Delusion of the Fury is a stage play by the American composer Harry Partch. The first draft for a new theater work for singers, mimes, dancers, and musicians, Cry from Another Darkness, was completed by Partch on December 30, 1964, and the second draft, dated January 17, 1965, was a fuller, longer, re-titled Delusion of the Fury. The work was originally conceived as a play in two acts, with a dramatic first act and a comedic second. Partch completed writing of the music on March 17, 1966. The piece employs Partch's original system of micro-tonality, and was written for the largest assembly of his custom-made instruments used in any of his works.[1] The instruments were an important part of the stage set.[2] Delusion of The Fury was premiered at the UCLA Playhouse on January 9, 1969, where it was recorded for Columbia Records. This remained the only performance of the piece until it was re-staged in 2007 by the Japan Society in New York.[3]

Background and structure

Act I is based on the Japanese Noh drama Atsumori, which tells the story of a warrior who has been slain in battle. The one who killed the warrior has traveled in remorse to the scene of the murder, so that he may repent. The dead warrior reappears as a ghost to the man. Then his son enters, searching in the belief that he may see a vision of his deceased father. The ghost-father is filled with resentment and lives again through the ordeal of the battle of his death. Eventually, faced with the uselessness of his anger, he seeks reconciliation with both his son and the slayer.[4]

Act II is based on an Ethiopian folk tale, "Justice". The story is as follows: a young man is preparing a meal over a fire when an old goatherder approaches, searching for a lost kid. She asks the man if he has seen the kid. The man is deaf, does not understand the question, and subsequently gestures the old woman away. She misunderstands this as direction towards the location of the lost kid, wanders off, and finds it, and returns to offer thanks. Upon her return, the man grows angry and belligerent for being disturbed a second time, and a crowd gathers. The villagers force the two to consult with the Justice of the Peace, who is both deaf and myopic. In yet another misunderstanding, the judge takes the quarrel as a marital dispute, and orders the two to go home together with their 'child'.[5]

These stories illustrate the overarching theme of Delusion of the Fury: the delusory nature and futility of human anger, with the second including a critique of communal justice. Delusion of the Fury thus brings together tragedy and farce into one work, reminiscent of the ancient Greek tradition of following a tragedy with a satyr play. Partch, who faced injustice and rejection from the society in which he worked and lived, may have offered this work as a gesture of self-admonishment, a way of confronting his own anger towards his world. Danlee Mitchell claimed that Delusion of the Fury was "Harry's reconciliation with the world."[1]
