The Fourth Wall
blendING music, theatre, dance, and acrobatics into a new HYBRID art form
Sunday, FEBRUARY 4, 2024 - 2:30 pm
Few musical ensembles earn top marks for their “deft choreography” (The Wall Street Journal), but this is no ordinary ensemble. Part chamber music group, part theatre company, part modern dance troupe, and part circus act, The Fourth Wall blends music, theatre, dance, and acrobatics into a new hybrid art form. This trio of musicians creates new interdisciplinary works and reinterprets classic repertoire to make music that leaps off the stage. The Fourth Wall puts a vaudevillian twist on classical chamber music with their one-of-a-kind variety show called Fruit Flies Like a Banana. Chopin on hoverboards, Satie performed while hanging upside down, Joplin on plastic boomwhacker tubes, and tangos where the musicians are also the dancers! The audience picks the order of more than 20 pieces specially chosen for each show in this fast-paced hybrid arts experience.
