The "insightful and vibrant" (The New York Times) Daedalus Quartet returns to Penn Live Arts with Bartok's Monster, a collaboration with Dan Rothenberg, Co-Founder/Co-Artistic Director of Pig Iron Theatre Company, and Sebastianne Mundheim, Founder/Artistic Director of White Box Theate. A musical investigation into a missing string quartet, this world premiere program by Penn's exceptional quartet-in-residence takes inspiration from Penn English professor Jay Kirk's Avoid the Day: A New Nonfiction in 2 Movements, a book Gideon Lewis-Kraus described as "a vividlt funny Gothic picaresque...and a dark, self-consuming act of memoiristic alchemy."

Performances are January 21 2024 at 2PM and 7PM.
Bartok's Monster premieres at Penn Live Arts (3680 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104).
