The Brick Theater Presents ELEVATOR, Now thru 6/26
Through haunting and immersive sound design, ELE↓↑TOR transforms the stage of The Brick into a dangerously malfunctioning elevator making its way to the top of the Empire State Building. Coinciding with the centenary of the Italian Futurist Luigi Russolo's unveiling of his "intonarumori" noise generators in June 1913-a signal event in the history of experimental music and sound design-it follows three hapless passengers on a vertiginous, bewildering journey in which soporific Muzak, Industrial Age machinery, and mysterious echoes all vie for dominance of the sonic space. The result is a disturbing reminder of both our dependence on and our incomprehension of the technologies that drive the modern world.
FEATURING: Justin R.G. Holcomb* (Channeling Kevin Spacey), Patrick Andrew Jones, Bob Laine (Two Gentlemen of Lebowski, George Bataille's Bathrobe), and Bill Weeden* (Inside Llewyn Davis, The Fantasticks), AND the vocal talents of Jeff Lewoncyzk, Douglas MacKrell, Victoria Anne Miller, and Paul Murillo.
