Beowulf - A Thousand Years
of Baggage
Thursday September 2 @ 9:30
Saturday September 4 @ 7pm.
Joe's Pub
After a successful smash-hit
run in 2009 in New York City, Banana Bag &
Bodice brings their award-winning epic SongPlay
on tour. Digging into the roots of the original
epic poem, this club-style version of Beowulf
- A Thousand Years of Baggage hearkens back
to the raw and rowdy style of storytelling
in the old Scandinavian mead halls –
with a passion for fierce poetry and a pint
of thick beer. Monsters and professors collide
in blood-soaked Scandinavia as this hefty
poem is rescued from 1,000 years of analysis
and transformed into a defiantly raucous dissertation
on art and violence. With an 8-piece band
including dueling trombones, bass clarinet
and accordion, Beowulf combines Weillian cabaret,
40's jazz harmony, indie rock, punk, electronica
and Romantic lieder into a cacophonous swirl.
Joe's Pub tickets are $14
in advance, $17 at the door. http://www.joespub.com
