3AM Theatre presents ESREVER as part of the Inaugural Fall Season in their studio at 920 35th Avenue, Unit #3N, Long Island City, NY, 11106. Performances: 9/28-10/2; 10/26-29; 11/29-12/2 at 7pm.

ESREVER is a blend of live electronic music, video, lighting installation, and experimental juggling created and performed by 3AM Theatre's Artistic Director Kyle Driggs. ESREVER is Driggs' most personal work to date, deconstructing the art forms he is most passionate about, and melding them into a feverish, transcendent live performance.

In this production, Driggs dissects a lifelong pursuit of juggling, diving deep into a series of loops manifesting a juggler's state of mind. ESREVER mines Driggs' experience and direct personal relationship to juggling, incorporating original and pre0recorded music, kinetic sculptures, and a customized lighting design.

Kyle Driggs – Artistic Director/Co-Producer/Creator/Performer
Kyle Driggs is a writer and performer who specializes in a unique fusion of juggling, object manipulation, movement, and theatrical persona. While he developed an early interest in circus arts, his career began ten years ago at the esteemed Ecole Nationale de Cirque de Montréal. Upon graduation, Kyle performed in an array of renowned circus shows, with a stint as a soloist in Cirque Du Soleil's Broadway run of Paramour, and in the 2019-2020 season of The Big Apple Circus. Much of his newer work, however, concentrates on the avant-garde in an effort to explore the bounds of physical theatre and contemporary circus arts. With a focus on experimental stage setting, immersive narratives, and the physical orchestration of common objects, Kyle's work strives for the convergence of a modern aesthetic and high technical skill. www.kyledriggs.com
