a fire that never dies, named after Garvey's work, is a playful collision of comedy and experimental sound, presented in partnership by Fonema Consort and the comedy duo A Lot of Things (A.L.O.T).

The show highlights our physicality and process through a sketch comedy set written for bodies in time and musicians enlisting wind-up toys, feedback loops, overdriven guitar, and deconstructed text into a buzzing world of sound and drama.

This project is partially supported by a CityArts Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events.

The International Museum of Surgical Science acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
