Slapstick: Scherzo
After demolishing more than their fair share of theater and festival stages, Sl?pstick are turning their mischievous attentions to the grand concert halls of Europe and beyond! Scherz?: a clown-esque concerto for the ages, in which a seemingly highbrow evening of classical repertoire glissandos into a bacchanal of comical mishaps and absurdity. Neither foppy-wigged composers nor their magnum opus are safe from this buffoonery. Behold as a marble bust of Beethoven comes alive and challenges his fellow sculptures to a yodeling battle-royale! Clutch your breast as Schubert?s Erlk?nig lament?s his dying son while prancing on a trampoline! Gasp in amazement as the ghost of George Gershwin accompanies a flotilla of rolling instruments- an entire symphony orchestra played by only five musicians and led by an inflatable conductor! It?s Chaplin meets Tchaikovsky, Buster versus Bernstein, and Groucho Marx does Mozart, all rolled up into one raucous oeuvre that deftly mocks the ?pomp? in Pomp and Circumstance. Sl?pstick presents Scherz?: an evening of classical music as you?ve never experienced before. Don?t call it a come Bach, it sure ain?t no symphony, and it?s SO not a sonata! Scherz?!
