​
Thursday, December 5, 8:00PM – Treasure Mouth – Shapeshifters Cinema – Oakland, CA
Once described as “hackable karoake with live visuals and improvised text” this score was pulled from the journals of the late Matthew Sperry. He envisioned an ensemble of singers and musicians attempting to keep up with someone writing extemporaneously on an overhead projector. The results are irresistible, at once vertiginous, hilarious and touching.
