CalArts Center for New Performance presents the West Coast premiere of The Hendrix Project at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts's Off Center Festival in Costa Mesa. The production was created and developed in the School of Theater, and recently received its world premiere at The Public Theatre's Under the Radar Festival in New York City.
The Hendrix Project is conceived and directed by Roger Guenveur Smith, and developed in cooperation with Experience Hendrix LLC.
New Year’s Eve 1969: Twelve disciples have gathered in the upper balcony of New York City’s Fillmore East to see Jimi Hendrix’s electronic blues trio, Band of Gypsys, play a legendarily funky concert. As “bullets fly like rain,” at home and abroad, the ensemble movingly reimagines an iconic moment in rock and roll history through the timeless power of Hendrix’s music. It’s the end of the Sixties. And Jimi Hendrix’s final New Year’s Eve.
