THE RADIO SHOW
Kyle Abraham / Abraham.In.Motion

“The best and brightest creative talent to emerge in New York City in the age of Obama.”
—Out Magazine

Kyle Abraham delves into identity and personal history in The Radio Show. Creating an abstract narrative around the loss of communication, he investigates the effects of the abrupt discontinuation of a radio station on a community and the lingering effects of Alzheimer’s and aphasia on a family. Abraham mixes a score with recordings of classic soul and hip-hop with contemporary classical compositions by Ryoji Ikeda and Alva Noto.
