Fuse Ensemble performs “I’m Worried Now But I Won’t Be Worried Long”
Time : 8:00pm.
Admission : $10.
Address : 246 Frost Street.
Fuse Ensemble is a concept-based new music/new media performing ensemble. Each season a concept is presented, giving voice to new music composers and creating musical happenings with visual elements of live, interactive video and/or kinetic installations. The musicians of Fuse perform on an eclectic mix of flute, clarinet, electric violin, electric guitar, cello, piano, electronic playback, percussion, and invented instruments. Linked by the insane possibilities of software such as MaxMSP/Jitter and Processing, sometimes using sensors on the musicians and live interactive cameras on stage, the artists create an experience that fuses sound, video and humans into a liquefied state and gives each concept a setting — a visual and kinetic environment to experience it in that furthers communication and unifies the concept.

Sex In A Coma explores what it means to live in a body; what is the self and what is the soul. It is also a love story, a Romeo and Juliet of alternative consciousness.
The story on which the play is loosely based came from a newspaper headline, “Girl Raped in Coma.” What evolved was a play in which a boy sentenced to community service falls in love with and impregnates a girl in a coma, Corolla. He grows to believe that she knows him and loves him, that out of body experiences are possible, and that the two can meet in another dimension. She exists in a state of consciousness that allows her intermittent access to the “real world”. She is a woman who has her own history, relationships, and yearnings for a future.

The dollhouse is a man’s world and only doll-like women, who allow their men to feel grand, can hope to live in it. You may think you’ve seen Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, but acclaimed director and MacArthur Fellow Lee Breuer gives this world of patriarchy and pretense a new twist—the all-powerful male characters are less than 4 ½ feet tall and the women 6 feet tall. Here, Ibsen’s feminism is metaphorically rendered as a parable of scale, and this unusual take on the physical world of the play results in startling insights and unexpected humor. This production is perhaps the most celebrated among a range of experimental, contemporary interpretations of classic works.
Featuring original music by Eve Beglarian.

Eve Beglarian, contemporary composer, musician, poet, and photographer, put her bright red, 17-foot kayak into the Mississippi River’s headwaters in Lake Itasca, Minnesota, and for the next three months, she glided down the Mississippi’s 2,300 or so miles to the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way, she collected snippets of sound, image and history from both her perch on the river and excursions into nearby towns, in wilderness areas and in the midst of urban sprawl. “Brim” is the music she wrote in response to her journey down the river.
Violinist Mary Rowell accompanies Beglarian on stage.
