Wednesday February 1 * 7pm
Chicago-based Beyond This Point is a percussion-focused collaborative ensemble that aims to engage diverse audiences through intersections across artistic mediums, presenting programs that synthesize musical performance with theater, movement, media/film, sculpture, social justice, and environmentalism among others. Using everything from amplified matchsticks, to rice-spilling pendulums, to reclaimed pieces of wood triggering 5000 LEDs, Beyond This Point has a drive to create a truly interdisciplinary performance practice, believing that a mix of media and art forms can speak more directly and powerfully to our current context. For their set at Rhizome, Beyond This Point will bring knives, hammers, an IKEA desk lamp, a webcam, 6 guitar pedals, and exactly one pair of drumsticks.
