Pepperland is back! Mark Morris Dance Group presents its joyous romp through the Beatles' beloved, groundbreaking concept album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Bursting with energy and buoyant creativity, neon costumes, and spectacular ensemble numbers, the playful and often poignant production--a Cal Performances co-commission--features a score of inspired Beatles arrangements plus originals by longtime Morris collaborator Ethan Iverson for an ensemble of voice, theremin, soprano sax, trombone, and keyboards. "Morris continually plays around with the Beatles' own contrasts between sentiment and abstraction and sheer fantasy, although he throws in an extra helping of irony now and then" (Los Angeles Times).
