Kaki King: BUGS

Join iconoclastic guitarist Kaki King and multimedia company GLITCH for BUGS-a one-of-a-kind, interactive musical adventure for all ages. Featuring King's signature guitar projection mapping, drum-triggered lights and sounds, and playful visuals, BUGS invites audiences into a whimsical world of insects, beetles, spiders, and sweet surprises. As King's live guitar performance fuses with mesmerizing video, nature soundscapes, and vibrant effects, kids and adults alike are encouraged to dance, shout out favorite bugs, and jiggle along with the critters crawling across the guitar. Designed to delight young audiences and the young at heart, BUGS transforms the stage into a multisensory playground where music, light, and imagination collide.
