Phoenix Central Park is proud to present the full-length documentation of The Risk Of Hyperbole, the debut interdisciplinary performance work by composer/director Jack Prest. This was filmed during the premiere season of the work at Phoenix Central Park in late 2021.
              
Created in collaboration with dancer/choreographer Azzam Mohamed and visual artists Joe Wilson and Chanelle Collier, Hyperbole is at once a music recital, dance performance and art exhibition. These traditional modes of presentation are woven together by Prest into a singular sensory journey.
              
Wilson and Collier present a series of artworks emblazoned with hand printed symbols that celebrate sound, object and movement. These artworks are installed live on-stage in an alternate form of set building that transforms process into performance. This literally sets the stage for Mohamed who brings the excitement of street dance and the dynamics of freestyle into a contemporary choreographic context.
