Something for the Imagination: The Theatre, Music, and Art of Brooklyn Babylon
The best music is often that which makes the perfect soundtrack for its time, sounding completely “in the moment” yet drawing from its predecessors and opening up new possibilities for the future. The 4-night run of Brooklyn Babylon at Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Harvey Theatre this past week combined imaginative music and visual art to create a compelling theatrical performance that spoke directly to profound social questions of today. The innovative sounds of Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society and the provocative animation and live painting by Danijel Zezelj were a treat in their own right, and the performance was a riveting hour-long journey left you thinking, seeing, and hearing differently.
