Four Larks work at the intersection of performance, music, visual art and dance. Their award winning junkyard operas combine large-scale immersive design with innovative orchestration and dynamic physical theatre.
Composer / Director Mat Sweeney and Creative Producer Sebastian Peters-Lazaro have been creating original work as Four Larks since 2008. They explore new modes of lo-fi performance and ritual in intimate and unexpected locations. Alongside an international collective of collaborators, Four Larks work variously as chamber-pop band, physical theatre ensemble, and immersive space-makers.
Four Larks currently operates out of a former flower shop in downtown Los Angeles. Their last play, The Temptation of St Antony, was awarded and commended by the Ovation Awards, the Stage Raw Awards, The Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, KCRW, Fabrik, and Theatre Magazine. Last year they presented an immersive concerto, Undine, with support from New Music USA, and developed a new work, ὕμνος (hymns), at the Getty Villa- with a full production forthcoming.
