Book Club | Ian McEwan's Nutshell
Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She's still in the marital home--a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse--but John's not here. Instead, she's with his brother, the profoundly banal Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month-old resident of Trudy's womb. Told from a perspective unlike any other, Nutshell is a classic tale of murder and deceit from one of the world's master storytellers. Ian McEwan is an English novelist and screenwriter. In 2008, The Times featured him on their list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945" and The Daily Telegraph ranked him number 19 in their list of the "100 most powerful people in British culture".

Play | Lysistrata: Fresh, Fast-Paced Comedy Inspired by Aristophanes
This fresh, fast-paced comedy inspired by Aristophanes' play, follows Lysistrata, an Athenian housewife, who calls for the women of Greece to help end the Peloponnesian War. She proposes a radical plan: all Greek women must refuse to engage in love-making until the men see reason, lay down their arms and come home to lie down with their wives in peace. The women agree to make the sacrifice and all hell breaks loose as men wander the country in an agony of unsatisfied lust. Will Lysistrata and her crew accomplish what the politicians could not? This college production is adapted by Ellen McLaughlin and directed by NJ Aguwna.

Performance | Antigone in Ferguson: Sophocles and Choral Music
Antigone in Ferguson was conceived in the wake of Michael Brown’s death in 2014, through a collaboration between Theater of War Productions and community members from Ferguson, Missouri. Translated and directed by Bryan Doerries and composed by Phil Woodmore, the project fuses a dramatic reading by leading actors of excerpts from Sophocles’s Greek tragedy with live choral music performed by a choir of activists, police officers, youth, and concerned citizens from Ferguson and New York City. The performance is the catalyst for panel and audience-driven discussions on race and social justice, the core component of the event. This multifaceted production will offer a glimpse not only into the effects of the tragedy in Brown’s local community, but also the trauma of police violence and racial injustice in communities of color in New York and across the nation. Local stakeholders and community leaders will participate as panelists, assisting in opening up dialogues with audiences. These guided discussions, which aim to promote healing and bridge the growing divide between law enforcement and local communities, will focus on the impact of racialized violence against communities of color, and the legacies of the tragic deaths of Michael Brown, as well as Eric Garner, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, Saheed Vassell, and numerous other victims. The presentation will feature a rotating roster of acclaimed actors, including Samira Wiley (The Handmaid’s Tale), who will reprise the role she portrayed in the premiere of Antigone in Ferguson presented on the stage of Michael Brown’s high school in Ferguson in 2016. Other cast members include: Paul Giamatti (Billions), Tamara Tunie (Law & Order: SVU), David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck), Adepero Oduye (12 Years a Slave), Frankie Faison (The Wire) and Kathryn Erbe (Law & Order: Criminal Intent). Each week will feature a different group of actors. Tuesdays through Saturdays, September 13-October 13, 2018.

Opening Reception | Golem: Complexity Between Art and Science
An exhibition of Brazilian artist Otavio Schipper (b.1979). His works translate scientific research and concepts into diverse art forms that lead to a beautiful and impressive complexity between art and science. The central piece of the exhibition is the video work "Golem," produced during Schipper’s stay at the Max Planck Research Center’s Artist-in-Residence program, in collaboration with New York City-based musician and composer Sergio Krakowski. A “Golem” is a figure from Jewish folklore, an animated anthropomorphic being that is magically created entirely from inanimate matter (specifically clay or mud). By reinterpreting the myth through a combination of scientific footage of microscopic organisms, bacteria and molecules, Schipper draws comparisons between these tiny, fungible building blocks of life and matter and the mythology of the Golem. Faint echoes of zeros and ones, the basis of computer code, provide a soundtrack to the video.

Soprano Lucy Shelton joins him for works by Anna Clyne (b.1980) and Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959), whose music and texts share a folk ideal. Closing the program is Beethoven's (1770-1827) Op. 130 String Quartet with its beautiful Cavatina, one of the most beautiful songs in the quartet literature. Curated by Momenta violinist Alex Shiozaki. Praised by The New York Times as “spellbinding,” violinist Alex Shiozaki is emerging as a strong advocate for the music of today. He has performed in venues including Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York City, Paine Hall at Harvard University, and Sapporo Concert Hall Kitara in Japan. At home with music new and old, he has appeared as a soloist with the Sapporo Symphony, Sendai Philharmonic, AXIOM Ensemble, and Juilliard Orchestra. Momenta Quartet has premiered more than 150 works, collaborated with over 200 living composers and was praised by The New York Times for its “diligence, curiosity and excellence.” In the words of The New Yorker, “few American players assume Haydn’s idiom with such ease.”
