Come see "The less we talk"!
April 16 - May 2
The Ontological Theater at St. Mark's Church
hoipolloiworld.com

American folk songs are exploded and foreign languages are butchered as Hoi Polloi trains its sights on choral singing in America. A 25-person choir is at the center of "The less we talk" -- an exploration of group singing that combines the singing of choral staples such as "Shenandoah" with the awkward moments between songs in which the members of the choir try desperately to prolong the harmony so easily won in song. Romances blossom and founder, territory is disputed, and a musical utopia is ardently sought in this radical re-imagining of how we, as Americans, come together and how we fall apart. Experience the Ontological Theater as you've never experienced it before -- with the theater fully transformed, in reverse formation -- the performance on the risers and the audience on the stage.
