Description:
Humor meets tragedy in Ibsen's classic tale of an idealistic, young man who shatters the lives of the Ekdal family in an attempt to liberate them from the web of lies that keep them sane. With a new translation by playwright Richard Nelson and stage design by architect Leigh Breslau, Charles Newell brings his uncompromising approach to this rarely staged play to reveal the real humanity of the characters.

Description:
A daring, magical and powerful story of a communitys return to hope and renewal. One month ago, extremist gunmen occupied the local school, and many children, teachers and parents were killed after a three-day standoff erupted in violence. Now a fiery angel stalks the town, unseen to all but one, and a mute child holds either the hope for reconciliation or the spark of renewed bloodshed.

Description:
Leading a new generation of experimental theater artists, Toshiki Okada's award-winning play from Japan is set on the eve of the U.S. and British offensive in Iraq, when Japan rejoined the ranks of the armed nations for the first time since 1945. The play's main characters, a young couple of Japanese drifters who meet and spend five days in a Shibuya "love hotel," are completely disconnected from the world events. Characterized by stylized scripts and unique body movement, chelfitsch's work has garnered attention from the contemporary dance world for their "physical richness," and earned the 2004 Kishida Kunio Drama Award, Japan's most important theatrical accolade, for Five Days in March.

Description:
R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was one of the great American visionaries of the 20th century. Best known as the inventor of the geodesic dome, Fuller devoted much of his life to resolving the gap between the sciences and the humanities, which he believed was preventing society from taking a comprehensive view of the world. His theories and innovations traversed the worlds of architecture, visual art, literature, mathematics, molecular biology, and environmental science and have had a deep impact on all of those fields.

Description:
Poet and performer Marc Bamuthi Joseph conveys the history of the hip-hop generation through his own personal coming-of-age story using verse, dance, and film in this dramatic multimedia performance, a "mixtape for the stage." Joseph collaborates with award-winning author Jeff Chang, whose book Can't Stop Won't Stop captures the creation of the hip-hop culture as a local, political, and artistic movement. To embrace the power of improvisation, the sound score and visual projections are mixed in the moment by a DJ and a beatboxer.
