PYGMALION: Hannibal Buress

Hannibal Buress is a comedian, performer, and builder of temples. In the land of Brooklyn, he raised Isola, a venue forged from sound, vision, and questionable budgeting. It stands as a beacon for strange gatherings and late-night transmissions. To keep it alive, he travels. Each show fuels the venue. Each laugh, a brick. Each ticket, a torch against the void. He raps as Eshu Tune. He DJs as DJ Burger Feet. He tours not for glory, but because Isola is expensive and the gods of overhead demand sacrifice.

If you believe in the life-affirming experiences that Krannert Center and the performing arts at Illinois make possible, please make a gift: advancement@krannertcenter.illinois.edu, KrannertCenter.com/Give, or faa.illinois.edu/giving.
