FABLE FANTASTIQUE features the art of storytelling alongside improvised music. Over the course of the evening, two works — by poets Nicci Pryce and Nevada-Jane Arlow — will be presented with their respective musical ensembles. Each creator’s work loosely ties in myth, folklore, and fantasy, the former featuring the mythology of Medusa and the latter on the Fairy King. Expect theatrics, character-driven improvisation, and music that spans jazz/hip-hop grooves to a faux-classical concoction of strings and synths.
