Play | We Are Pussy Riot or Everything Is P.R.: The Greatest Piece of Performance Art in Russia's History
In 2012, on the eve of Putin becoming president again, a small group of activists had an idea to create “Pussy Riot”, an anonymous punk feminist protest performance group. They dress up in bright colors and balaclavas and perform punk songs encouraging attention to be paid to Putin’s crimes. This is a play by Barbara Hammond that explores the young feminist activists, who call themselves Pussy Riot. They offered up a punk prayer in Moscow’s Orthodox Cathedral. They played and shouted for exactly 48 seconds before being dragged out of the church by security guards. That night they uploaded a video of their performance to YouTube becoming enemies of both the Church and the State. The girls were arrested and put on trial. Through the internet and mass media the word got out the world hold of the story and turned Pussy Riot into the greatest piece of performance art in Russian history. This is their story.

Opera | Two Short Chamber Operas: Mermaid in the Jar and L'Enfant et les Sortileges: Fantaisie lyrique en deux parties.
Two fantastical stories, written 100 years apart, about the imaginative power of children. Mermaid in the Jar A collaboration between Mannes Opera & Mannes Orchestra, Mermaid in the Jar, the first short chamber opera in the Peters and Vavrek's Wild Beast of the Bungalow triptych (Mermaid in the Jar, Prairie Dogs, and Fine and Dandy), takes place entirely within an eleven-year-old girl's bedroom as she overhears her parents' volatile conversations. After the Girl captures a Mermaid, she is forced to confront what it means to care for others and to be cared for herself. Music by Rachel J. Peters, libretto by Royce Vavrek Based on a short story by Sheila Heti Conductor: Christopher Allen Director: Rose Freeman Cast: Yohji Daquio, Brianna Dulock, Yu Shi, Dalis de la Mothe, Grace Bernard L'Enfant et les Sortileges: Fantaisie lyrique en deux parties Amidst the contemporary works is one French opera, the much loved L'enfant et les sortileges: Fantaisie lyrique en deux parties (The Child and the Spells: A Lyric Fantasy in Two Parts). Written almost 100 years ago by the writer Collete and composer Ravel, L'Enfant et les sortileges also explores the world of a discontented child and their vivid imaginary landscape. After a bout of bad behavior, the items in the Child's nursery come to life to chastise, terrorize, and teach the Child the value of compassion. Music by Ravel, libretto by Collette Cast: Claire Coven, Marcella Astore, Enes Pektas, Yixuan Li, Haojie jiang, Pedro Barros, Dallas Saxer, Haojin Mo, Maia Suwanameera, Melissa Hartman, Ping Gu, Himanshu Barot, Colin Safley, Marcella Astore, Yu Shi, Young Il Jeon, Brianna Dulock, Luna Park, Patricia Williams, Angela Shon, Claire Dai, Dmitri Mironov, Grace Bernard, Yu Shi, Hansol Oh, Qin Li, Yui Lee, Catherine McClure, Eliza Goldsteen, Christina Draper, Tiffany Ye, Josh Bowden, Nicholas Barron, Haoran Deng, Haoming (Tim) Xia, Kore Adachi, Junze Gong.
