What happens when a bunch of conservatory-trained musicians, dancers and actors decide to put on a late-night dance-club show? You get something like AcousticaElectronica, where classical collides with electronica to create an all-new visual and aural spectacle. It starts with live musicians playing the work of established and up-and-coming composers, joined onstage by The WIG, a classically trained, New York-based DJ. The dancers bring in their blend of ballet, jazz and modern movement, while the actors immerse the audience in a mind-blowing theater experience. This toUch performance art production comes to New York after sold-out runs in Boston.

I and my wife love the show. There was a mix of classical music, electronic music with ballet and opera thrown in. It was a hard to describe dance party. Our only problem was the venue itself which let everyone in an hour late with no explanation.

The show was scheduled for 11:00 P.M. and we got there at 10:50. We were left to wait outside on line and at 11:20, when it started puring out, we decided to leave. It was not only a waste of money but also of our time.

Total scam. It looks like it's Fuerzabruta meets the symphony but it was a like a children's rave from the late 90s. Very weak show, tourist crowd, just a total bait and switch from what the video looked like.

Quotes & Highlights

  • “Elements of classical music, dance, and immersive dramatic theater with the aesthetics and attitude of the contemporary nightclub.”  --Boston Globe

Description

Director of Dance: Elizabeth McGuire 
Director of Theatre: Marissa Rae Roberts 
Director of Music: Colin Thurmond 

AcousticaElectronica makes its New York City debut at Le Poisson Rouge, after it’s smash success at Boston’s OBERON, the theatre-club of the American Repertory Theatre, with a unprecedented level of music and spectacle that blends the virtuosity found in the classical concert hall with the infectious energy of the late-night dance club. The best of both worlds: artistic depth and irresistible appeal. It is sexy and classy, sensuous and stoic, irreverent and reverential. 

AcousticaElectronica presents some of the most innovative music from well-established and hot up-and-coming producers and composers. Bach meets a dance club back-beat, Carmen’s habanera meets techno, and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata blends with trance for a listening experience unlike anything you have ever heard before.  

This ultimate dance party becomes an immersive experience for the audience. Dancers, symphonies, operas, ballets, and live musicians all happen around every inch of the space to keep the audience guessing at every turn. A classical world becomes the technicolor world of the dance club as the audience escapes from their real lives to experience a night of dream, abandon, and ecstasy…
