Living Cinema, the revolutionary creation of San Francisco composer Bob Ostertag and Quebecois filmmaker Pierre Hébert, brings the creation of cinema out of the movie studio and on to the stage. Endangered Species, a new work about disappearance, panic, witness and humor, is Living Cinema's second piece, following Between Science and Garbage, which was a hit at film and music festivals around the world. The collaboration between Hébert and Ostertag merges sound, film and mixed media and decades of commitment to revolutionizing the live performative experience.

Bob is actually kind of a living legend in rarified New Music and improv noise circles, and actually performs around these parts only once or twice a year, so this is a chance to see something weird and cool. I'm going Friday.
