In An Evening With,
Alex Franz Zehetbauer transports you to a surreal piano bar: a
singer at the piano and his repertoire punctuate the gathering
of guests. Ear-worm melodies and a trickster humor keep the
audience teetering between the earnest and the absurd.
Traversing different moods and registers, from poetic lullaby to
folk song to pop rendition,
An Evening With investigates the multiple roles of
songs and their cultural impacts. A certain enchantment occupies
the evening as Alex creates a closeness at once strange and
familiar, stretching the song into various choreographic
postures.
