TILTED AXES: DESPAIR + ACTION = HOPE is Coming to LES Festival
The performance will take place on Saturday, May 24 at 6:00 pm.
TILTED AXES: DESPAIR + ACTION = HOPE is coming to The Lower East Side Festival of the Arts, presented by Theater for the New City.
Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars is a dynamic spectacle where a moving ensemble of electric guitarists wearing mini-amps strapped over their shoulders and backed with percussion, perform original music, turning the city into a stage. Blurring the boundaries between concert, theater, and ritual, their electrified soundscapes transform public spaces into a living, breathing musical experience.

Created by composer Patrick Grant, Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars is a dynamic procession of electric guitarists equipped with portable amps, transforming streets and public spaces into immersive musical experiences. With a rotating cast of local and visiting musicians, each performance is shaped by its location and community. Inspired by ancient music, avant-garde theater, and everyday ritual, Tilted Axes blurs the line between spectacle and ceremony.
