Zeitgeist is honored to bring composer Tim Beyer's EVOCATION OF OUR CURRENT TIME to Minnesota stages this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. This show, while timely, deserves a bit of investigation before you commit to sharing space with us for a performance.

In an interview with Laura King, Beyer states, "The thing is, it takes all but the smallest adjustment to our subjective reality to make someone who might otherwise be considered a perfectly ordinary and decent person adhere to and embrace some horrible beliefs and ideas. Once indoctrinated and convinced of the righteousness of these beliefs, it is all too easy for ordinary people to condone or commit horrible and evil acts. Just one little shift is all it takes. One tiny step. I think that most of us don’t want to think about how easy it is to shift our moral compass in such a way. There has never been a greater apparatus for fostering these little shifts in subjective reality than there is today. This is why I assign such great importance to the ways in which we are manipulated — the consequences can be and have historically been calamitous."

The entire interview is on our website. We'll link in the comments. This performance is free.
