Rockland, Maine - Brooklyn-based guitarist Kaki King will present her ground-breaking new multi-media project "The Neck is the Bridge to the Body" at the Strand Theatre, 345 Main Street, on Saturday, February 27 at 7:30pm.The project deconstructs and redefines the role of solo instrumental artist though virtuoso technique, insatiable imagination and soulful songwriting. The visionary “The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body” uses projection mapping to present the guitar as an ontological blank canvas to illustrate creation myths and luminous visions of genesis and death. Images and textures are cast onto an Ovation Adamas 1581-KK Kaki King Signature 6-String Acoustic guitar customized specifically for this production. The show is provocative and moving, surprising and beautiful.
“The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body” was produced in collaboration with Glowing Pictures (best known for their work with such artists as Animal Collective, David Byrne & Brian Eno, Beastie Boys, and TV On The Radio). An album of the same name, featuring the soundtrack from the show, was released in March 2015.
Tickets: $22/Advance, $25/day of Show. The Strand lobby and balcony bars are open for all concerts for 21+.
