The Cultch Presents

New Age Attitudes:
Live in Concert

A concert in construction paper form.

MAY 11–14
Historic Theatre

Theatre Replacement (Vancouver)
Created and Performed by Amanda Sum

New Age Attitudes: Live in Concert is part pop-up book, part performance. Theatre-maker and musician Amanda Sum de-digitizes her identity-drenched indie-pop album into a handmade book. Each audience member is given a personalized book to silently read together. Filled with sonic descriptions and humorous invitations, the pop-up book guides audience members through a new way of listening and receiving.

New Age Attitudes: Live in Concert is neither a musical nor a straight concert. Shifting the traditional structure of a music concert by using collective reading as a backbone, this lo-fi performance prioritizes introvertedness and celebrates awkwardness. Amanda rearranges her debut album, New Age Attitudes, to craft a new narrative that demands your gentle devotion.

Rave Reviews

“Amanda Sum champions ‘Meticulous Articulation’ on New Age Attitudes, weaving vivid vignettes of growing pains over jazz piano chords, folksy strings, and tape-hiss crackles.”
