Tilted Axes is Patrick Grant's roving ensemble of electric guitarists, known for playing while walking, and here the idea becomes a full stage piece where the players move through shifting formations as the music changes around you. Christopher Caines handles choreography and lighting, so it lands somewhere between concert, dance and theater. If you like experimental music with a physical twist, this is a very East Village night out.
What to expect
Eleven performers carry portable electric guitars and percussion across the stage, and the sound shifts as they regroup. Lighting and projected visuals complete the picture in one of TNC's intimate theaters.
