Concert #10: Circus Maximus
Co-presented by the Western Front, the experimental Music Collective (eMC), Intermission Artists Society, and Video In | Video Out (VIVO)
Circus Maximus is a spectacle to be experienced, absorbed and internalized. Roving performers, musicians, and video artists will collaborate to produce penetrating soundscapes and visuals–a three-ring circus, all under the command of an outrageous ringmaster. Audience members are encouraged to attend in circus-themed attire!

The experimental Music Collective (eMC composers Scott Amort, Gordon Fitzell and Lisa Miller) and Intermission Artists Society (video performers Marianne Bos, Mark Brady and Julie Gendron) combine forces with Edgeffect (musicians Jeremy Berkman, Gordon Fitzell, Dan Gaucher, Francois Houle, Lisa Miller and Stefan Smulovitz), performance artists Thomas Anfield, Kevin Bergsma and Andrew Laurenson, and set designers Kate King and Andrew Scott to create a bizarrely twisted performance/installation.
A reflection of our highly splintered and volatile society, Circus Maximus is an invitation to rethink the system of values by which we gauge our desires to celebrate or condemn societal violence.
