The Floatones is an experimental theater work in which four people form an "encounter support group” that sings about “post meaning” and living “content free.” On the cutting edge between entertainment and self-help, they inspire each other with idiosyncratic gestures and atonal harmonies.

Written by the late downtown theater legend Jim Neu, The Floatones return to The Club at La MaMa after 20 years with a new generation of downtown performers.

Written by Jim Neu
Directed by Catherine Galasso & Keith McDermott

Reviews

  • Neu's talent is that he faces these heady issues with a light touch, a raised eyebrow, and a Puckish wit; few playwrights can carry off such breezy intellectualism.”

    ---- Robert Simonson, Village Voice

  • "Jim Neu... has struck again with “Gang of Seven,” a brief but engaging torrent of intriguing ideas and dizzying wordplay. “Gang of Seven” rewards repeat viewing--once is not enough to savor the abundant verbal pirouettes.... By the end you may not have retained all of the play’s notions, but your brain will be abuzz with them."
