TBA:11 ON STAGE
The Radio Show
by Kyle Abraham
In The Radio Show, Kyle Abraham delves into identity and personal history, creating an abstract narrative around the loss of communication. He investigates the effects of the abrupt discontinuation of a radio station on a community and the lingering impact of Alzheimer’s and aphasia on a family. The score mixes classic soul and hip-hop recordings with contemporary classical compositions by Ryoji Ikeda and Alva Noto.
