Red Note Ensemble and Laura Bowler: Deconstructing Pierrot

Laura Bowler’s Deconstructing Pierrot takes Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire and looks at the work through a contemporary queer lens.

What happens when you take a “classical masterpiece,” smash it apart, and rebuild it for the world we live in now?

“Triple threat composer-performer provocatrice” Laura Bowler dives head-first into the iconic Pierrot Lunaire and drags it into the 21st Century of clicks, feeds and digital self-performance — glitching it, remixing it, questioning it, and completely owning it.

It’s bold. It’s fierce. It’s unapologetically weird (in a good way).

Part concert, part theatre, part sensory overload, perfect even if you’ve never touched “new music” before.

Come get your expectations — and your attention span — rewired.
