TILTED AXES: Circle With No Center
Movements for Mobile Electric Guitars
October 2–5, 2025 | New York City

NEW YORK, NY — Crystal Field, Executive Director of Theater for the New City, proudly presents Tilted Axes: Circle With No Center, a groundbreaking theatrical event combining music, movement, and visuals. Performances take place Thursday, October 2 through Sunday, October 5, 2025 at Theater for the New City, 155 First Avenue, New York City.

Circle With No Center transforms the stage into a dynamic landscape where musicians playing mobile electric guitars and percussion move in choreographed formations, weaving intricate sonic textures that blur the lines between concert, dance, and immersive theater. Created by composer and performer Patrick Grant, the work invites audiences to experience music as a living, breathing environment — part ritual, part procession, and entirely unlike anything else currently on the New York stage.

Performance Schedule:

  • Thursday, October 2 — 8:00 PM
  • Friday, October 3 — 8:00 PM
  • Saturday, October 4 — 8:00 PM
