Levitt AMP: House of DOV: Circle of Apathy feat. Family Junket​
2026-09-19 13:00 - 14:30 | Art Preserve, 3636 Lower Falls Rd, Sheboygan, WI, 53081, United States
Free, family friendly
1:00 p.m.
Headliner: House of DOV: Circle of Apathy feat. Family Junket​
Neosoul/Funk/R&B​
Gather with friends and neighbors at the Art Preserve for free live music! ​
In Circle of Apathy, the new dance project from House of DOV with live music from Family Junket, the ensemble explores the cycles of growth and disintegration intrinsic to nature, and works together to build physical structures which increase in precarity over two acts as the group strives toward expansion. “Through creative process, we’ve sought to understand our own place within the greater ecology of our landscape, and to experience the human body as a metaphor and microcosm of the natural world,” says Drew Lewis, creative director of House of DOV. ​
Family Junket’s five musicians blare dense soul with moments of ambience: voices wail, altered by a vocal pedal; saxophone, flute and violin harmonize over precomposed loops; djembe, drum kit and percussion punctuate echoing acoustic piano. House of DOV’s seven dancers push against seemingly immovable forces, find new hand and footholds, and creep forward like a vine up a brick wall. A woman walks through an increasingly dense wood until the brush closes around her entirely. When all paths disappear from sight, a figure steps blindly forward, trusting that there will be a stepping stone beneath their foot.
