Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and...the Green Lama? The lesser-known, but equally lethal, Green Lama basks in the spotlight in this new Sympho event. Last year, Sympho introduced New Yorkers to this Buddhist crusader's adventures, and the response was an overwhelming thumbs up, with salon.com describing the "mixed-media sensory experience" as "like nothing I've seen before andeven border[ing] on the spiritual" and audience members clamoring for more.
Seven musicians from Sympho will provide the live, polystylistic soundtrack -- both acoustic and electronic, pre-composed and improvised -- to projected images from the comic books themselves, while acclaimed actors will bring the words and images to life onstage. Narrated and directed by WQXR's own Elliott Forrest, "KAPOW!" brings Jethro Dumont's -- er, the Green Lama's -- crime-fighting escapades to life.
As an enticing palette-cleanser between episodes, Sympho will take audience members through a sonic and visual "tour" of selections from the Rubin Museum's past and current collections, pairing the projected images with a wide variety of improvised and commissioned musical selections. "Electric Sheep" fans may also find a surprise or two included in the mix!
The concert takes place on Wednesday, June 12, 2013, at 7 p.m., at the Rubin Museum of Art, 150 West 17th Street, New York, NY 10011.
