Musically triggered effects, an interactive caterpillar screen, and a projection-mapped guitar share a fun-filled concert of bugs, beetles, critters, and all things sugar.

‍

Built specifically for young audiences, this live performance is a multimedia concert that mixes Kaki King's world-class instrumental guitar and drum compositions with visuals and stories around the insect world. Using responsively triggered lights and videos, Kaki guides family audiences through a virtuosic musical journey, but one which is also interspersed with participatory moments - to call out your favorite bug, to notice fireflies of various colors, to make buzzing sounds, and most importantly to celebrate and enjoy the music through your voice and dance.
