Description

[ANN ARBOR] a LIVE immersion for late fall the Regenerate! Orchestra returns with an earthy new immersion! Regenerate, a new experimental orchestra in Southeast Michigan, presents an evening of folk music arranged for saxophone. Visceral, solemn, whimsical, this shows upends expectations for what a concert should look, sound, and feel like. Through folk song, poetry, Fluxus, dimes, and high fashion, "awakening, debt" invites viewers to contemplate death in new and oblique ways. A garden will be planted on stage and then removed. Dimes will tinkle on the ground. Kate von Bernthal will perform assorted sounds on sax and sing the ballad "Barbara Allen," an old favorite. There will be an exhibition of bi-color dresses. All this in great company, and with Blom Meadworks's excellent selection of meads and ciders on tap. You might even see a phesant! "awakening, debt" was stitched together over the past year and a half with significant contributions by J. Clay Gonzalez, Kate von Bernthal, Nadine Dyskant-Miller, Peter Littlejohn, and Corey Smith. Costume design by Maria Paterno, with Kirsten Carey, Maddy Wildman, Eric Sweitzer, Kaleigh Wilder, and BethAnne Kurnet joining in performance. It will never be performed exactly this way again, so don't miss out! Attendance is limited, so be sure to reserve your ticket today.
