Performance | The Threshing Zone: Performance Art


Felix Bernstein's The Threshing Zone is a manic lecture on the erogenous body. How to develop a new theory of desire from its remainders and sore spots—what’s been written off as infantile or degenerate? Bernstein draws on a glut of visual sources to diagram what psychoanalysis could never metabolize, from medieval anatomy books and medical archives to astrological charts and visceral animations. The fluidity of the slideshow format confers its own propulsive logic, linking the evidence—whether found or fabricated—through loose affinities of shape and form: rims become cracks or vanishing points that give way to the cavities of fossilized shells, then liquefy into TikToks of oozing slime. The Threshing Zone crosses the empirical and the outlandish to map these wayward drives, forging new models of identity formation written on the flesh.

Concert | Ensemble Mixes Catchy Songs with Humor


Obie-winning playwright and songwriter Ethan Lipton (No Place to Go, Tumacho) has been thrilling and tickling audiences for nearly 20 years as the lead vocalist of his quartet, the wryly titled Ethan Lipton & His Orchestra, featuring Eben Levy (guitarist), Ian Riggs (bass), and Vito Dieterle (sax). The band's undeniably catchy songs split the difference between Whitmanesque Americana and the dryly zany comedy of James Thurber, providing insight, giggles, and big feelings at roughly equivalent dosage. Now, Ethan & His Orchestra will realize its music with an actual orchestra, with arrangements and conducting by Giancarlo Vulcano, performing tracks from their new album, Did You Do the Thing We Talked About?, and the rest of their eclectic catalog. This one-of-a-kind event will celebrate the ridiculous, amplify the everyday, and thumb-wrestle with the gnarly challenge of being human.
