From The Fourth Wall's website:
The Fourth Wall’s mission is to create programming that engages everyone from elementary school children to classical performance connoisseurs through a new hybrid of the performing arts in which musicians are also actors and dancers. In a theater, breaking the fourth wall brings the world on stage directly into the audience; as an ensemble, The Fourth Wall, breaks the barrier between serious art and serious fun.
Performance:
FRUIT FLIES LIKE A BANANA
3 Performers. 20+ Pieces. 60 Minutes
Few musical ensembles earn top marks for their "deft choreography," but this is no ordinary ensemble. Part chamber music group, part devised theatre company, part modern dance troupe, part circus act, The Fourth Wall blends music, theatre, dance, and acrobatics into a new hybrid art form. In their award-winning variety show Fruit Flies Like a Banana, this trio of musicians creates new interdisciplinary works and reinterprets classic repertoire - all performed in an order chosen by the audience - to make music the leaps off the stage. Interactive online performances of Fruit Flies Like a Banana: Virtual Style put everyone in a front-row seat, and all are invited to help create a show that leaps off the screen.
Time Flies Like an Arrow... Fruit Flies Like a Banana!!
Every performance of Fruit Flies… is different - from show order to parameters to repertoire. We're always adding new repertoire to specifically suit our audience (such as inside joke for primarily musician audiences or bringing in local celebrities in different towns) and finding new ways to make our friends and fans join in. Fruit Flies… was premiered at the IndyFringe Festival in August 2013 and has been performed at festivals, universities, schools, performing arts centers, and on computer screens across the country ever since. In 2022, Fruit Flies… jumped across the pond to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with over 50 performances.
