ABOUT THE 23/24 SEASON
Third Angle’s 23/24 Season embarks on a journey from dreamworlds, to human connection, and even to the absurd. We’ll bend your mind with a glitching multimedia experience that turns censorship and surrealist video into musical psychedelia; ascend into a sky of ancient souls; celebrate Queer love and joy; and unify sound, mind, and body through vibration.
Joining us is a cast of artists including inaugural Guest Creative Director Derion Loman, soulful mezzo-soprano Hannah Penn, and Rabbit Rabbit Radio’s sonically rebellious Carla Kihlstedt & Matthias Bossi, not to mention some familiar 3A faces.
