Sideshow

Canada’s leading experimental music collective, Montreal-based NO HAY BANDA, tours Steven Kazuo Takasugi’s theatrical octet “Sideshow” this fall, opening in Montreal on October 31 with opening act Sola Nkani. “Sideshow” is an entertaining hour-long theatrical work for chamber octet, electronic amplification, and playback. Based on the dark sideshows of Coney Island’s amusement parks in the early part of the 20th century, Sideshow merges music theatre and chamber music performance in an uncanny spectacle. The work is also a meditation on virtuosity, entertainment, business, and the sacrifices one makes to survive in the world.
