Isaac Newton is Our DJ March 4, 2010

Following their sold out performance in January, and in response to overwhelming demand, The Hinterlands will remount their original work Isaac Newton is Our DJ at Moct Bar on March 4th and the 11th. Physically explosive and shockingly funny, Isaac Newton is Our DJ is part clown play, part dance party, and part science experiment. Isaac Newton is Our DJ pits two renowned Newtonian experts against each other in a battle over gravity, love, and the future of science. This space-specific performance uses dance, shadow puppetry, minimal techno, party games, comedy, “science,” and spectacular imagery to bring the audience into a world where what comes up doesn’t always come down.

Exploring themes of reconciliation, attraction, love, and intimacy, Isaac Newton is Our DJ investigates what causes people to come together and to split apart. Following the performance the audience is invited to stay for the after-party, so bring your dancing shoes!

Isaac Newton is Our DJ is created and performed by Brian Moore and Liza Bielby with director Richard Newman. Music is arranged and performed by Richard Newman with Puppet and Object Design by Tara Smith and Branden Byers. Isaac Newton is Our DJ will be presented on two consecutive Thursdays, March 4th and 11th at 7:30pm at Moct Bar, located at 240 East Pittsburg Ave. Tickets are $10 - $15. For reservations please call 414.208.4237 or email us at [email protected].
