The avant -garde company The heartbeat of the opera Participates in another innovative game by phone of the source text, this time with the new Iteration Salome. The original drawing from Oscar Wilde’s play of the same name, with a German libretto, adapted from the French language Wilde, and music, cool, written by Richard Strauss. Now HeartBeat represents a hundred two-year-old opera in English, an eternal event for this particular story, with instruments compressed to ordinary eight clarinets and two percussionists. The goal is to come to the fore and strengthen the scandalous foundations of history, which, in fairness, were poorly veiled from the very beginning. Visitors pay what they want, although severed heads are not an option.Jane Bois (Irondale; February 4-16)

Since its appearance as a secret weapon for Kanye Wyst sessions in Wyoming, in 2018, a singer and a rapper Shake 070 Accepted the status of an outsider. Glory never appeared for a protege of one of the most popular artists in the world, but Shako flourished without pressure on the economy, closely cooperating with Dive Hamelin from the India Rock Group The Stills, on luxurious, melodramatic songs that test the form. Her sound exploded in a kind of psychedelic opera, first spawning from emo -rap, and then ultimately turned into a distorted electric pool. Last year, Shake released the most grandiose music of her already ambitious career “Petrichor”, a maximalist opus that finds out the eighties pop-pop, Surf Rock channels and covers Tim Bakley with Courtney Loves. Her theatrical impulse corresponds only to her desire to destroy all previous ideas about what her music should be.Sheldon Pierce (Royal Theater; February 1)

In the series “Office Allegory of Scientific and Fantastic “Exit”, Created by Dan Erickson, for Apple TV+, most employees on the “chopped up” floor of the secretive biotechnological company Lumon have passed the procedure that separates their work (“Konggs”) from their home (“Outies”). After the uprising in the first season, the second season begins with the efforts of Lumon to lure Mark (Adam Scott), Dylan (Zach Cherry) and their colleagues in order to work with the promise of the “Reform of Kindness”. But the writers now, it seems, are less interested in expressing in real corporate culture than in the extraction of tension between pierces and outies. The season, it seems, departs from gloomy, losing itself in abstract ethical riddles and will subside emotional. This is far from the dissection of work and life, as we know them; The cuts are only deep skin.Inkoo kang (Reviewed In our issue of January 20, 2025).

Hervé Kubi Company He performs “what day is obliged to night”, the vision of desert sands in the wind is a lifting, accumulation, dispersion, whipping and settlement. But instead of sands, we see thirteen, muscular muscular men with a bare naked naked, who in the clotta who glide on the ground and slowly fall and throw each other high through the air. Elements of street dance and capoeira are mixed in the dream of Maghrib and Brotherhood. Several times a person rises to the tower of other people, and then falls back into the hands of his brothers. The work that drifts around the world since 2013 will now settle in Joyce again.Brian Sabert (Joyce Theater; January 28-2nd place. 2.)
Movies
The first feature of the Chinese independent director Alan Zhang, “This woman” This is an amazingly intimate and tempting confusing confusion of fiction and artificial documentary. Hikhi Lee (who also wrote a script) is removed in it in the role of Beibei, the young Striver of the Beijing bourgeoisie, the married mother of the baby, who is emotionally connected with her colleague from her work in the office in the field of real estate, which leads to threats from his wife’s wife. But as Bebey’s romantic obligations and professional activities pass from the city to the city, her personality itself – and tension with her husband and her widowed mother – it seems to shift. Having focused on conflicts of love and money with high rates, noting the restrictions of traditions and bureaucracy, Zhang considers his main character (who will interrupt the cell) as a prisoner free influence in each scenario.Richard Brody (Metrograph; Open on January 31.)

In early January, graphic designer Chris Cristiano, who lives in Rokauay Bich, went on a trip to Morocco with his girlfriend, stylist Jesse James when they saw sad news: Los -Andheles was devastated by forest fires, and many of their friends were published about evacuation Or the loss of the house. They wanted to help. “New York loves Los -Angels,” suddenly jumped into the head of Cristiano – he felt that it was important to show solidarity between the two cities that had long become rivals – and, to his surprise, to his surprise pen was available on Instagram. Cristiano and James quickly developed a piece of Butleg – “❤ la” The T-shirt inspired by the Milton Glaser “I ❤ Ny” classic logo-and place it on Instagram, noting that all the proceeds ($ 50 per shirt) will support the Mutual Aid Group Group La network. They collaborated with ScreenPrinter, Sara Gates, in Kingsland Editions, in Brooklyn to help with production, and took initial orders through Instagram, thinking that they could sell twenty shirts at best. Then the post became viral. Several high -profile users, including Cat Power, shared this post, and orders were ordered. “I now have almost twenty-five thousand dollars in the Venmo account,” Krishtiano told me. (Since then he transferred orders to Kingsland site.) The shirt joins the growing flock of profitable T -shirts – The Chery La Clothing Company Big Bud Press released retro Shirt “I love la”and the director of the brand Movie-Merch Fits releases La Movies T -shirt Showing the names of dozens of films shot in Los -Angeles ($ 40). Another brand of the film, a human boy around the world, leaving Los Angeles by designer Al Lugo, will sacrifice all the profit from his sales “Films, now more than when -libs!” A shirt ($ 40), which causes Robert Altman's classic film “The Player” for under -financed Gofundme pages. Now you can literally wear your desire to help in your sleeve.
