Oh My Tiger
Sibyl O'Malley & Mira Kingsley
Ocean/Flight
Chi-wang Yang
Highways
Friday & Saturday at 8:30 pm
Sunday at 7:30 pm

Highways brings us a weekend of incomparable contemporary dance this weekend wherein dance, theatre, puppetry and animation combine into spectacular performance. In Oh My Tiger, Kingsley and O'Malley find inspiration in an historic Buddhist tale of three princes who happen upon a mysterious forest, which turns out to be the home to a starving tiger. In a gesture of true self-sacrifice, the youngest brother gives his own body to feed the mother tiger and her cubs.

In the second half of the evening, Ocean/Flight, innovative theater director Chi-wang Yang uses the story of Charles Lindbergh's revolutionary solo flight across the Atlantic to examine our modern-day bond with technology, and how much of ourselves we are willing to surrender in the name of progress.

Neverwonderland
Boom Kat Dance Company
Miles Playhouse
Thursdays - Saturdays at 8:00 pm
Sundays at 2:00 pm
Through June 14

Returning to the Miles Playhouse after their dynamite production of The Jungle Book last year, Boom Kat Dance Company has fused and reconfigured two of the most stalwart children's tales, J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan and Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures In Wonderland into their new dance performance. In this marvelously creative production, Peter and Alice search together for a place both real and imagined. Neverland and Wonderland in combination combine in Neverwonderland wrestling with intersections of time and place, fantasy and reality, childhood and adulthood, youthful exploration and adolescent fear. This company simply sizzles and I wouldn't miss their performance for anything!

The Battle of Algiers
The Aero Theatre
Sunday at 7:30 pm

Wrap up your weekend with one of the most influential political films ever made. In the Battle of Algiers, director Gillo Pontecorvo refused to make villains of either the colonial French or the bomb-throwing rebels but instead weaves a morally complex, dramatically riveting tapestry that presents a balanced yet passionate view of revolution.
