A bunch of musicians decide that society is broken, and since music is the blueprint for everything, they set out to make music that models a society they actually want to live in. As the show unravels into a dreamlike explosion of song and dance, the audience steps into a creative role. NOISE is a participatory theatrical celebration that sings across the history of music, and into the future, in a collective effort to invent a better world. Like right now. In this musical...

The brainchild of writer/composer César Alvarez - mastermind of the acclaimed Futurity in our 2018/19 Season - NOISE is a brand new musical directed by Dante Green for the Wilbury Group, and brought to life by the most amazing interdisciplinary team of musicians, actors, and collaborators you've ever seen.

It’s an incisive and joyful new work. A musical-in-the-making. And kind of a party.


About the playwright:
César Alvarez is a composer, lyricist, playwright, and performance maker. They create big experimental gatherings disguised as musicals, in the key of inter-dimensionality, socio-political transformation, kinship and coexistence. With a background as a jazz saxophonist, bandleader and sound artist, César's work inhabits a space between the worlds of theater, music, performance art and social practice. César was a 2018-20 Princeton Arts Fellow, a recipient of The Jonathan Larson Award in 2016, The Kleban Prize and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2022. Originally commissioned by The Public Theater and Playwrights Horizons Theater School/NYU, this production of Noise is presented by Wilbury Theatre Group in collaboration with Spirits Go Blah productions of NYC.
