Wild Art's H&G to Play Paloma Street Studio in February

H&G, a public outcry is a hyperbolic performance placing the audience in the shoes of Hansel & Gretel, to wander through America's blooming new fear of extreme weather in a dreamlike, wild, and surprising journey. Poised in a poetic landscape, this powerful live-music performance is comprised of a distorted Suburbanite and other amplified characters, illuminated puppets, dark dancing shadows, and a lot of meat. Drawing from the third worst drought in US history and Hurricane Sandy, source material includes Hansel and Gretel, newspaper articles, American folk and rock songs, and text generated by John Michael Johnson.

H&G, a public outcry will launch Wild Art's inaugural season at the new downtown Los Angeles arts space Paloma Street Studio (www.palomastreetstudio.com).

PREVIEWS on FEBRUARY 5, 6 and 7 2016 at 8:00 PM (two shows on February 6th). PERFORMANCES WILL RUN FEBRUARY 12 THROUGH FEBRUARY 27, 2016. For a full performance calendar and to purchase tickets, CLICK HERE (http://wildart.bpt.me).
