“Shh…Let’s Play” celebrates childlike moments of dreaming, playing and laughing. This intimate concert incorporates creative listening, comic gesturing, instrumental experimentation and creative game play. Through exploring the CUBE concert space by scattering the different pieces in different places within the room, the audience goes on a journey of playful discoveries, from video lullabies, to flashmob movements, to game-play between performers and the audience, and finishing with an absurdist musical theatrical performance.

Group Group Press Quotes

“The performer as musician, as improviser, or using their own body as their instrument in a program that is as full of instrumental virtuosity as theatrical flair and gestural interpretation.” [Café OTO]
