We're getting ramped up for our shows "Between the Head and Hands: A Transformation of Metropolis," May 13, 19, and 20 at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis. We are so excited to be collaborating with Anne Elias and the Xelias Aerialists for a no-holds-barred soundtrack to the Fritz Lang epic "Metropolis."
Now, we've done the live soundtrack to the film in the past. Maybe you have joined us for a performance. But this is brand new, and special. It showcases the talents of some of our favorite artists in this town of many disciplines. Anne is an incredible visual artist, videographer, and just all-around artsis. Meg Elias and her company of gravity defying aerlialists, Xelias, will make your jaw drop. And Leah Nelson, the gifted choreographer, is also contributing her talents to this tapestry of sound, sight, and spirit.
It is part of a larger series, THE ELECTRIC EYES FESTIVAL, which is a cavalcade of multi-media talent from Minneapolis and New York City. It's happening May 11-20.

Here's more about our show:
Electropolis, Anne Elias and Xelias Aerialists Between the Head and the Hands: A Transformation of "Metropolis" Electropolis's astonishing surround-soundtrack to Fritz Lang's 1927 futuristic silent masterpiece "Metropolis" serves only as the starting point for this world premiere. The show brings together a cross section of musical genres and artistic disciplines ––experimental jazz/electronica, classical, free improvisation, hip hop, videography, sculpture, dance, and aerial dance––weaving them together for a presentation that is beyond what each could achieve alone. It is an attempt to represent an ideal for our own society––a blending of humanity and machine that is ever changing and morphing––restlessly striving and struggling for ultimate harmony and grace. Ultimately it is a sensual feast, as the stage becomes every wall, object and pathway within the Southern Theater, even the air and gravity itself.
