I must take a moment to HIGHLY RECOMMEND the ALL OF YOU go see
Lelavision this weekend through next weekend at 7 Stages Theater in
Little Five Points (next door to Variety). This is the third year these
folks from Seattle have brought their amazing work here, and each year
it has been incredible. Ela Lamblin is a sculptor who makes amzing and
indescribable musical instruments, which are played by himself and his
partner choreographer Leah Mann. Ela's instruments frequently featured
tuned strings that are masterfully manipulated with rosin gloves to
produce ethereally beautiful timbres. Other instruments feature
percussive and plucked timbres, as well as timbres that defy
explanation. He has performed with tuned stones, flutes made from
vegetables(!), bicycle wheels with tuned spokes. Amazingly enough, it
doesn't all sound chaotic, but rather lyrical. And the performance art
aspects of their show is on par with Cirque du Soliel, Blue Man Group,
etc.
I don't throw around this sort of praise haphazardly. These guys are
amazing, world class performers. This is a chance to catch them while
they're still doing small regional theaters. DON'T MISS THEM! And take
your kids too...
