Maxwell Abeles started the creative company MAKS. As the company has evolved it has now become a form of guerrilla theatre. They put special emphasis on creating multimedia systems which are then used in rituals and performances in public squares across the boroughs of New York. “Theatre is the defining end point,” says Maxwell. His residency with Harvestworks will result in a performance system incorporating animatronic masks, instruments, sensors, voltage controlled canvases, and electronic controllers.
