WHAT IS BUGS?Created by Kaki King and Glitch, this multimedia show for young audiences incorporates Kaki King’s signature guitar projection mapping and drum-triggered effects into a fun-filled story of bugs, beetles, critters, and all things sugar.
In BUGS, audiences experience magically synched visuals, emotionally rich music, playful effects, as well as multiple kinds of recorded insect sounds.
BUGS is engaging and interactive, encouraging audiences to participate and dance along. They are invited to shout out their favorite bug, dance like one of the insect characters jiggling around on the guitar, and feel the freedom to interact with Kaki and glow in their own discovery processes.
The visual world created by GLITCH incorporates video and imagery of insects, spiders and other invertebrates - along with melting ice cream, friendly characters, bundles of candy, exploding lego jelly, bouncing toys, and more.
The audio experience combines King’s live guitar performance, sound samples, and field recordings from nature – all triggered in real time.
Adults will enjoy the rich, unique audio-visual experience and sophisticated music. The show is intended both for children and anyone who is a child at heart!
