Freneticore Presents David Bowie's Outside

The music is outside…

FrenetiCore is a Houston-based dance/theatre group that has been presenting shows for the past five years, including: Commodore 64 Tribute (2002), America Loves War (2003), The Sacred Harp (2004), 1984 (2005), Deviations (2005), and Bedlam (2006).

Outside is their latest offering and here’s a bit about it from their MySpace page

———————————————————————————————————————–

FrenetiCore is a brave little Houston-based dance/theater group dedicated to giving the masses the kind of dance they’ve demanded for so long. Dance that tells happy stories of demons, gun-toting preachers, jazz-handed fascists, and imaginary eight-foot tall baby seals. What’s not to love? Freneticore’s next production, Outside, is based on David Bowie’s 1995 concept album…

Outside is a cyber-punk drama fusing dance, film, and live music. It tells the story of Nathan Adler, an art-crime detective who investigates a violent atrocity ? a mutilated body posing as art. As Adler sifts through the evidence of the crime, he is entrenched in an underground art scene that deifies the destruction of beauty and humanity itself.

Freneticore narrates though video, dance, theater, and music, creating a multi-faceted and multi-level experience in Outside. Two Star Symphony, Houston?s most unusual string ensemble, joins Robert Thoth in performing the music from David Bowie?s concept album, Outside.

With original choreography by Rebekah French and Ashley Horn, and original film by Robert Thoth, Outside is a dark futurist drama that questions the evolution of technology, morality, and the artist?s role in society.
