Music is something that everyone enjoys, and while not all have the taste for the weird and utterly wacky, you will probably still enjoy Squonk: Mayhem and Majesty. The show, which originally debuted in 2000, has made its grand return to New York City with a new performance. The show features some outstanding musical performers, who play everything as ordinary as the piano, to more unusual instruments that we’ve never even seen before. The music is both exciting and fun, making the audience members tap their feet to the beat. However, this show is about more than just listening to music. It’s purpose is for the viewers to think about what music looks like, making for a trippy experience. Prepare to feast your eyes on umbrellas opening and closing on their own, projection puppets, kinetic machines and more delightfully insane happenings in time with the music. If you can imagine Woodstock on LSD, it probably looked a lot like Squonk.
