Original Production: The Beatniks Are Coming
In the current polarized dialogue, a culture of boycotts and difficulty seeing the other, we would like to remind ourselves that art can bring people together.
Poetry, a short story, and jazz come from different places and so they branch out later on, but at a certain time in the mid-20th century, they had one thing in common, and that moment will last as long as we shine a special light on it.
In order to create a new, contemporary piece, we set out on a journey on two plans of connecting the ideas, texts and principles of freedom of speech with the ecstatic nature of Swing and the essence of a sober, contemporary look that is opened to the new buttons, which emerged into this world and affects us more than anything.
This is why we have invited spoken word and jazz people to correspond with the texts of Allan Ginsburg, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Charles Bukowski and other glorified beat generation artists, and we have curated two exhibition shows to show off the multiple levels of beat.
The beatniks are coming – And the beat goes ON
