bang, pow, yikes!, woohooooooo
Rebound
A cacophonous night dedicated to bouncing back.
For our fourth night of What Is: heart(break), the East End United’s sunken basketball court sets the stage for the tragicomedy that culminates when the heart gets messy, or maybe…a little too curious.
Cheekily exploring the idea of a rebound, Sarah Hennies, Tristan Kasten-Krause, and the Imaginary Percussion Orchestra premiere a new collection of percussion pieces called “Suite May Sixteen” that celebrate vulnerable, clumsy versions of ourselves trying to pick up the pieces and reimagine how everything can fit together again.
Throughout the night, sounds will bounce and rebound on a slew of percussive instruments such as the vibraphone, marimba, whale-bone xylophone, drums, cymbals, and readymades. Reverberating and resolving, these percussive sounds take over the court in full chaos, echoing the often complicated rhythms of the heart.

TICKETING & ACCESSIBILITY INFO
RUSH LINE & NO-SHOW POLICY
Sometimes our shows sell out, and that can be a bummer for folks who didn’t get a ticket. We’ve developed a new ticketing policy that applies to advance ticket holders and those wanting tickets to ensure a fair, transparent process for releasing additional tickets to a sold-out show. Please read our full policy here.
TICKETING
Our new ticket type invites you to Pay What You Can Afford (PWYCA) which means that you can choose an appropriate level and where possible, help to offset community members attending at a discounted rate. Levels are decided by you based upon your income and financial flexibility and are not verified at the door.
