Great Noise Ensemble returns to the Capital Fringe Festival with a program of pieces which examine the complex system of relationships we share in the age of instant messaging, internet dating, and technological overload. In D.J. Sparr’s Carnal Node we journey along with one man’s internet dating experiences as told through the eyes of his friend. Marc Mellits’s Five Machines is a pure mechanical portrayal of the technology that shapes these relationships, and Ryan Brown’s Thick Skin reminds us of the defenses we need to survive in an ever changing world.

Great Noise Ensemble will be performing at the Forum in the Shakespeare Theatre’s new Harman Center for the Arts in downtown Washington, D.C. Tickets are $15, available through Capital Fringe’s website via TheaterMania.
