Outside
Based on David Bowie's 1995 concept album

May 25 ~

Remaining Dates
June 15, 16, 22, & 23

FrenetiCore is a brave little Houston-based dance/theater group dedicated to giving the masses the kind of dance they've demanded for so long. Dance that tells happy stories of demons, gun-toting preachers, jazz-handed fascists, and imaginary eight-foot tall baby seals. What's not to love? Freneticore's next production, [i]Outside[/b], is based on David Bowie's 1995 concept album...

Outside is a cyber-punk drama fusing dance, film, and live music. It tells the story of Nathan Adler, an art-crime detective who investigates a violent atrocity a mutilated body posing as art. As Adler sifts through the evidence of the crime, he is entrenched in an underground art scene that deifies the destruction of beauty and humanity itself.

Freneticore narrates though video, dance, theater, and music, creating a multi-faceted and multi-level experience in Outside. Two Star Symphony, Houstons most unusual string ensemble, joins Robert Thoth in performing the music from David Bowies concept album, Outside.

With original choreography by Rebekah French and Ashley Horn, and original film by Robert Thoth, Outside is a dark futurist drama that questions the evolution of technology, morality, and the artists role in society.

I caught this show on Saturday and was totally blown away! Great music by Two Star and Robert Thoth...very cool lights (nice touch to have lights under the seats!) and great video. All of the dancers looked great and the choreography was strong and sexy. I usually complain when shows are too long, but with a running time of one hour, it could have been even longer. Great job, Freneticore!!!
