Discussion | Experts Discuss the Concept of Innocence During Times of Authoritarianism


A conversation between Miriam Ticktin, Serene Khader, and Camille Robcis, drawing on Miriam Ticktin's new book, Against Innocence: Undoing and Remaking the World. In this timely and bold book, Miriam Ticktin explores how a concept that consistently appears as a moral good actually ends up creating harm for so many.  Claims to innocence protect migrant children, but often at the expense of their parents; claims to the innocence of the fetus work to punish women. Ticktin shows how innocence structures political relationships, focusing on individual victims and saviors, while foreclosing forms of collective responsibility. Ultimately, she wants to understand how the discourse around innocence functions, what gives it such power, and why we are so compelled by it, while showing that alternative political forms already exist. She examines this process across various domains, from migration, science, and environmentalism to racial and reproductive justice.

Performance | Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812: Electro-Pop Musical Adaptation of War and Peace Section


There’s a war going on out there somewhere, but behind the walls of New York City’s premier social club, everyone celebrates the arrival of Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 for one weekend only. With chandeliers and caviar, the war can't touch anyone here. From the celebrated, award-winning composer Dave Malloy, this electropop opera based on a scandalous slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace is a sweeping story of love, redemption, and scandal. Natasha Rostova arrives in Moscow to await the return of her fiancé from the front lines. When she falls under the spell of the roguish Anatole, it is up to Pierre, a family friend in the middle of an existential crisis, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation. Written by Dave Malloy. Directed by Emilio Cerci. Cast: Michael Caizzi, Marcus Cruz-Santiago, Christian Leigh, Felicia Josey, Maura Dempsey. Please be advised that this production includes the following content: Sounds of gunshots and abstracted violence.
