“The beat is the regular pulse, or heart of pop music,” notes Stephen Prina. This notion is interrogated and unraveled in Beat of the Traps. Presented for the first time since the year of its debut in 1992, this collaborative performance created by Mike Kelley, Anita Pace, and Prina assembles a dance performance, a percussion recital, a rock drum solo, a music fanatic’s vaudevillian monologue about rock star excess, and the number one song on Billboard’s Hot 100 at the time of the performance.
