The Living Earth Show, Samuel Adams & Post:ballet present 'Lyra'

Deemed one of the “22 for ’22 performers to watch” (Washington Post), The Living Earth Show presents multimedia productions featuring music, movement and visual art. New Haven will experience the group’s collaboration with composer Samuel Adams ’10MM and Bay Area dance collective Post:ballet in Lyra, a program of live music, film, and dance, on Tuesday, February 27.

Adams’s score imagines The Living Earth Show percussionist Andy Meyerson and guitarist Travis Andrews as one single hyper-instrument—a 21st century lyre. The result is a sonic experience that straddles the fragile and often imperceptible line between earthly and digital realms. The Living Earth Show exists to push the boundaries of technical and artistic possibility while amplifying voices, perspectives, and bodies that the classical music tradition has often excluded. The organization uses the tools of experimental classical music to foreground artists whose perspectives have been traditionally excluded.
