"Cortical Titanic" - Goldstar Discount Tix, Sat. 10/13 & Sun 10/14

Hemispheric Dysfunctionalism and the Cortical Titanic is an experimental theater piece that uses the historic voyage of the Titanic as its narrative, 100 years after the sinking of the original ship. The Titanic becomes a metaphor for humanity and its disastrous voyage illustrates the fragility of man's attempts to dominate nature and the world we live in through technology. The characters themselves, both comic and serious, present a variety of perspectives on gender roles, class distinctions, evolution, and social Darwinism as they struggle with the rapid technical progress of the industrial age. The play is complemented by original, period-inspired music.

Get $12.50 tickets for this Saturday 10/13 at 8pm or Sunday 10/14 at 2pm through Goldstar.

Fort Fringe - The Shop, 607 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20001

Run-time 1 hour 20 minutes. Lobby bar opens 1 hour prior to performance and stays open for approximately 1 hour after performance. Craft beers and Prosecco on tap, wine and bottled beer, Izzy sodas.

Quotes & Highlights

"Capital Fringe with its Izzy sodas for a quarter and Prosecco on tap is the right place to try something different in terms of theatre. This show is not for anyone who’s not into experimental theatre ... but it is a truly original creation to appeal to the sort of viewer who likes Waiting for Godot or absurdist theatre in general." -- Woman Around Town

It’s high-minded, but gut-punching. And ultimately, HDATCT steams through to its proper port with force and a rolling tide of interesting ideas. No “king of the world” aboard here — just a madly creative manifest. -- DCTheatreScene.com

Born in Japan in 1994, Ryo Kaneko’s first exposure to music lessons was at the age of two in a Yamaha Music Program. He enjoyed dancing, singing and listening to music, and from their unique training he developed his perfect pitch. At the age of four, his family moved to the United States where he began his serious study of piano at the age of 9. His fascination for music has grown exponentially in the past few years, leading him to a rapacious study of composers and their entire works, compositional styles, study of orchestration and harmony and various forms of analysis.

Ryo is starting his senior year at McLean High School in McLean, Virginia. He is a noted young pianist in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area where he is actively involved in all aspects of performing. He has presented solo performances at George Mason University’s Performing Arts Center Young Artists Series, the Rising Star Concerts at The Alden, JoAnn Rose Gallery, and Harris Theater.

He has been a winner in the Lichtenberg Competition, Friday Morning Music Club High School Piano Competition, MTNA Virginia Senior Competition, Old Dominion University Harold Protsman Competition, Washington Music Teachers Association Ylda Novik Concerto competition, and Northern Virginia Music Teachers Concerto Competition. His piano trio has competed in Fischoff competition in 2011. He has participated in numerous Summer Festival such as Piano Texas, Bowdoin International Music Festival, Academie Boulanger in Gargenville, France and Pianosummer at New Paltz with pianist Vladimir Feltsman. He has been a student of Marjorie Lee for 8 years.
