Work in Progress

Aging Magician

January 11 & 13, 2015 at Park Avenue Armory

A workshop presentation of a new music-theatre work, Aging Magician is a composite of sonic and visual elements that paints an allegory on time, youth, and the peculiar magic of ordinary life. The performance takes the audience on the journey of a reclusive older man’s vibrant last adventure, brought to life by a team of multidisciplinary artists who combine music, theatre, puppetry, instrument making, and scenic design to create an enduring work for the stage.

 

Produced by Beth Morrison Projects and VisionIntoArt
