Wonderneath

Photos by Alex R. Kirzhner

If you weren't at the House Of Yes on March 4th or 5th or 6th, then you missed it. The 6th was the last chance to catch a genuine "uderground" vaudevillian style circus production with a jazzy/blues soundtrack provided by Tin Pan.

I am a very big fan of being pleasantly surprised, and having no idea what to expect from Wonderneath ("Set in turn-of-the-century New York City, The Wonderneath explores the otherworldly lair rumbling below the city's surface, where steam energy has seeped through granite and crystal, fractalized, and created a land where all that is wondered comes to be." - quoted from NBC, NEW YORK), I went in with an open mind.

The House Of Yes is an interesting little venue out int the middle-of-nowhere-industrail Bushwick. It looks like a typical townhouse from the outside, but inside it's anything but. Tables were set up with silk screeners printing various designs on objects provided by the visitors - sweet idea! And then the show started. Fire dancing, aerial acrobatics, singing, dancing, and a saxophone flame thrower (yeah that's right.) mind=blown, and the photo's don't even do it justice.
