Degenerate Art Ensemble's work is inspired by punk, comics, cinema, nightmares and fairy tales driven by the energy of live music and their style of visceral movement theater and dance. These immersive meditations tear away the the waking world revealing alternate realities filled with characters that are transformers - the weak becoming strong, the good becoming evil- expressing unimaginable possibilities. The group throws audiences into this world, asking them to make sounds en-masse enveloping and activating the space. Characters climb over the audience - removing the barriers that normally separate, creating an environment that arouses our interconnectedness. The work is an exorcism through collision and conflict striving to create communion, soul-exchange and collective transformation. Degenerate Art Ensemble has recently collaborated with the legendary theater director Robert Wilson, and the renowned Kronos Quartet and was the subject of a large scale museum exhibition.
