The Things Around Us is a dazzling new work from acclaimed multi-disciplinary artist, Ahamefule J. Oluo, that layers live music and narrative exploration to create an introspective evening about the things that connect us all. Combining experimental jazz, new music, Nigerian hi-life, and electronic looping with bizarre and darkly humorous accounts of strangers and acquaintances, Oluo draws out larger social and political meanings from those encounters, weaving together a tapestry of characters and existential inquiries. Featuring dynamic multi-instrumental compositions using trumpet, clarinet, vocals, looping/effects pedals, and cardboard shipping boxes for percussion, The Things Around Us is an evening that will draw you in and remind you of the beauty in life.
