MALADAPTED
Wildlife Wednesdays Series
Presented by
Wildlife Music Collective
A Fully Immersive Sound & Light Performance
Wildlife Music Collective co-founders Concetta Abbate,
Charlie Rauh and Jesse Greenberg present the third show in their 6-month residency, "Wildlife Wednesdays" at Alchemical Studios.
This is a program about evolution and maladaptation co-created by three distinguished artists and sound designers John Roach, Thessia Machado and Ranjit Bhatnagar also known as the FOULBROOD ORCHESTRA in collaboration with performers from Wild Life Music Collective: Concetta Abbate (Violin/Voice) and Jesse Greenberg (Percussion).
What does it mean to not fit in? To be especially good at something that is not immediately useful? “Maladapted” is a fully immersive sound and light performance which considers how the natural environment shifts in symbiosis with organisms throughout time. We consider various manifestations of intelligence and advantage from the perspective of plants, rocks, insects and mammals, seeking to ᴅᴇᴄᴇɴᴛʀᴀʟɪᴢᴇ ᴀɴᴛʜʀᴏᴘᴏᴄᴇɴᴛʀɪᴄ ʜɪᴇʀᴀʀᴄʜɪᴇꜱ ᴏꜰ ᴠᴀʟᴜᴇ.

Timon of Athens
There's a funeral party in Manhattan...
Presented by
The Elif Collective
The story of a young, rich & fabulous Manhattanite whose fortune dwindles after the sudden death of both of his parents.
This adaptation of Shakespeare's unfinished play drops you into Timon's world of luxury and longing.
Dive head first into the meretricious tatters, plastic food, false friends, glittering masks, and nepo-baby debauchery.
The Elif Collective's Timon of Athens is an interactive exploration of song, dance, bodies, sex, movement, friendship, and wealth. This play, adapted from Shakespeare's original text by The Elif Collective and lead adapters Abigail Duclos and Isabel Tongson, invites audiences to dive head-first into a world of meretricious tatters, plastic food, false friends, glittering masks, and nepo baby debauchery.
The play tells the story of Timon, a young, furious, and fabulous Manhattanite whose fortune dwindles after the sudden death of both of his parents-coupled with a new and special focus on his personal assistant, Flavius, who wants nothing more than to burn everything around her into ashes. Featuring two original songs and myriad dances (choreographed by Ellie Houlihan and our brilliant team of actors), Timon of Athens is a bold reimagining of Shakespeare's original text, bringing the timeless themes of friendship, money, jealousy, and desire to exciting new heights.
