Young @ Heart - October 6, Fox Theater - 7:30 PM
Young @ Heart is a humorous and inspiring documentary that challenges the stereotypes of old age in a world obsessed with eternal youth.
For over 25 years, the Young @ Heart Chorus has entertained audiences at home and abroad with unique renditions of punk, rock & rythmn-and-blues songs by musicians as varied as Radiohead, Jimi Hendrix and The Clash. The group's repertoire provides depth to the aging process as `Stayin Alive' becomes an amusing meditation on life & death, and Bob Dylan's `Forever Young' serves as a haunting ode to lost youth and fallen friends for a group whose membership is delicately said to be `in flux'.
Documenting the unique challenges faced by this impressive collection of senior citizens, Stephen Walker's intimate and delightfully whimsical documentary demonstrates that the Young @ Heart Chorus only gets better with age.
