Full Lineup TBA! Over 30 Artists.
A carnival of all things experimental, the Roulette MUSICIRCUS brings a
cornucopia of musicians, dancers, video artists, and performance artists
from all corners of New York City's artistic community together for
a celebration of chaos and and the harmonies of simultaneity. This is
the first public event in Roulette's new space! We dont officially
open our doors until mid-September – so this is your first chance to
see our new concert hall!
First performed in 1967, John Cage's MUSICIRCUS is simply an
invitation for performers to assemble and play together – a
"happening" where multiple performances occur simultaneously to
create new and unusual configurations.
A collage of genres and forms, the Roulette MUSICIRCUS will unfold over
the course of two full day events, with the audience invited to wander
freely and choose their own sonic and visual relationships.
This will be the first event in Roulette's newly renovated,
wonderful space, and is presented as Roulette's contribution to the
Atlantic Ave Art Walk. Visit http://www.roulette.org/newroulette/ to
find out more about Roulette's new space.

"seen from a particular point of view, music is simply the art of
focusing attention on one thing at a time. In my works, I have tried not
to focus the attention on one thing at a time, and have used this
principle that I call "musicircus"- of having many things going
on at once; the simultaneity of unrelated intentions."
