A bunch of musicians decide that society is broken, and since music is the blueprint for everything, they set out to make music that models a society they actually want to live in.
As the show unravels into a dreamlike explosion of song and dance, the audience steps into a creative role. NOISE is a participatory theatrical celebration that sings across the history of music, and into the future, in a collective effort to invent a better world.
Like right now. In this musical...
The brainchild of writer/composer César Alvarez - mastermind of the acclaimed Futurity in our 2018/19 Season - NOISE is a brand new musical directed by Dante Green, and brought to life by the most amazing interdisciplinary team of musicians, actors, and collaborators you've ever seen.
It’s an incisive and joyful new work. A musical-in-the-making. And kind of a party.
