The Infinite Hotel World Premiere

Costume Design by Oana Botez
Video Design by Josh Higgason and Maxx Berkowitz

Rock music and Rube-Goldberg- cinematography collide in a cathartic and inventive music-theatre experience. The Infinite Hotel invites live audiences to become ‘extras’ and step inside an elaborate movie-making machine, producing a one-take feature film together every night. Refreshingly honest, the film’s narrative follows five strangers unknowingly writing music together across space and time, and questions the nature of human interrelatedness, our appetite for visibility, and the creative ideas we accidentally share.

 

The show is running January 5 & 12 at 5PM and 9PM and January 7-11 at 7:30PM at Irondale in Brooklyn, NY.  Tickets & More Info
