In the hands of Swedish artist Nathalie Djurberg, animation becomes a medium for transgressive and nightmarish allegories of desire and malcontent. “The Parade: Nathalie Djurberg with Music by Hans Berg” is Djurberg’s most ambitious multimedia installation to date. Originally organized by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Djurberg will adapt this spectacular installation for the New Museum’s ‘Studio 231’ space.

...emotional journey though the art form of Flamenco and the power of the moon, the light in the darkness. The moon is a feminine power. It is the supreme symbol of biological rhythms. Through flamenco, 4 young women are intertwined and represent the powers of the moon: hope, intuition, beauty and light in the darkness. Interpreted through sophisticated arrangements, lighting and emotion, the dancers take us on an emotional journey though the art form of Flamenco.

What is Mix-Hop? Aquavibe is the answer. Hip-hop, R&B, rock, soul and dance fused together into one original sound performed by six men committed to The Groovement. Aquavibe tends to appeal to listeners of a wide variety of styles and yet somehow manages not to compromise, transcending popular trends by refusing to sacrifice originality.
Tickets $10 online, $15 at the door.

IATI Theater
All in all, things that happen, terrible things that happen: the small disintegrations of our daily life. A couple in a confined space, their desires, their frustrations, their longings. Tragedy is no longer an event of gigantic and universal proportions but rather a rosary of small woes with which our characters weave their lives. An inside look at a couple's daily life and its incurable disintegration.

Fridays & Saturdays @ 10:30pm
The New York Neo-Futurists
Our show is an ever-changing attempt to perform 30 plays in 60 minutes--an original concept by Greg Allen and the Neo-Futurists. The single unifying element of these plays is that they are performed from a perspective of absolute honesty. Each short play is written by a performer, honed by the ensemble, and randomly collaged with twenty-nine other plays through high energy audience participation.

Tickets: $12-17.

Wed-Sun, February 12-March 21 @ 11:30am - 5:00pm
The Ukrainian Museum
Traditional Ukrainian kilims – flat tapestry rugs, woven on vertical or horizontal looms to produce stylized floral ornamentation or geometric patterns, respectively – are made with naturally dyed wool, yielding rich, soft hues that add to their beauty and warmth. The more than 35 prized examples are representative of centuries-old weaving traditions and attest to the arduous journey undertaken by Ukrainians escaping the ravages of war with their most cherished possessions.
