Screening | The Two One and Onlys: A Film-Play from Hungary (online through June 27)


Madach Theatre's brand-new streamed film-play brings to life the two great loves of the famous Hungarian writer, poet and essayist Frigyes Karinthy (1887-1938), which playfully uses the facts of the writer's life, showing the tragicomic friction between the ,,two one-and-onlys" and the startling changes in Karinthy's life. Frigyes Karinthy is twenty-five years old when he escapes his great love, the actress Etel Judik, with three children, under adventurous circumstances. They hide from the anger of the husband in Berlin for half a year, then reconcile the husband with a larger sum and get married in Budapest. From the nickname ,,beetle, beetle", the writer gives the name Boga to his beloved partner, who will be the victim of a Spanish flu epidemic that erupts after World War I. In Hungarian with English subtitles

The exhibition speaks of the vast range of Jewish experiences across the globe and over time, made tangible through artistic expression. It is both a mirror of Jewish identities and an inspiration for the formation of new ones.

Performance | Islands in the Sea: Performance Art


Artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya transforms the site that honors the grieving process. Nine sculptures serve as beacons of reflection, lighting a path forward from losses that so many of us have suffered in the last few years. With this installation, visitors engage in a ritual reminiscent of Loi Krathong, a celebrated Thai festival of gratitude, forgiveness, and respect. Participants are invited to release a floating vessel to carry away their burdens, worries, or grief gently into the pool. Each vessel reflects the sky as it drifts along the water, forming a flotilla of shared struggle. The installation serves as a gentle reminder that while grief never fully leaves us, we can temper sorrow by embracing the many forms that grief and healing may take.

Play | Saint Joan: George Bernard Shaw's Classic Drama Performed Outdoors


This timely play is based on historical records of the 1431 trial of French military icon and religious martyr Joan of Arc. The fully realized production is directed by Geoffrey Horne. Shaw's play fictionalizes the historical life of Joan of Arc who became a military leader and changed the history of her nation. Young, French farm girl Joan (Billie Andersson) hears saintly voices telling her to raise an army to fight the English. The failing English, threatened by her popularity and influence, convince the Church to have Joan tried for heresy and she is found guilty. When this force of nature refuses life in prison, she is tragically burned at the stake, becoming a symbol of faith, feminism, and individualism. Tickets are available at 5:45 p.m. the day of the performance.

Concert | Emerging Music Festival


Three up-and-coming bands on one of the biggest stages of their up-an-coming careers. In the quarantined summer of 2020, 95 Bulls was formed by five friends from different bands (Ashjesus, The Mystery Lights, Smock, Bipolar, and Jelly Kelly) pretty much by accident. They all wanted to make music for fun while their bandmates were scattered but with two pennies to their name, they fell in love, and decided it was best to write a record and get married. The accidental turned purposeful rock and roll band has shared bills with Wavves, Sheer Mag, Dirty Fences, and Sunflower Bean to name a few and look forward to their debut record release in June 2022. 19-year-old Tayahna Walcott (Talia Goddess) is a multi-hyphenate artist and creator from Brooklyn, New York with Guyanese and British roots. She merges her many talents as a self-taught singer-songwriter, rapper, music, producer, DJ, model, multi-instrumentalist, creative entrepreneur, and community leader to galvanize the next generation of creatives and push culture forward. Since the early age of six, she has been engaged in the arts, using her talents to express herself and bring people of all walks of life together. Reyna Tropical are composed of Mexican expats Fabiola Reyna and Sumohair. The duo met as part of Red Bull Music Academy’s Bass Camp at Bonnaroo Music Festival in 2017, chosen as two of 20 up-and-coming producers and musicians from around the country. It was there that they bonded over their love for the tropical diaspora and began experimenting with their unique writing process: a process inclusive of pure improvisation consisting of a four hour session per song aimed at capturing the moment and the environment. Today, Reyna Tropical merges their passion for social justice and community organizing with the space and opportunities that they can create through their music.

Dance Performance | duet/duet: Simple Movements, Complex Feelings


duet/duet is a dance that happens on a field in the sunshine next to another dance that happens inside a room, overlooking a river at sunset. It is a dance created between performers opal ingle, Joey Kipp and Jennifer Kjos, in partnership with choreographer Heather Kravas. One dance contemplates a shape made between two people so that we might also consider the distance between them. The other reflects a line as two people travel and change together. What might a line endure or become? How might people draw nearer to one another? Not quite adhering to presentational expectations, the performance hovers between a drawing and a dance, intended as a vessel to experience the specific temporality of dusk. Featuring an electro-acoustic score by composer Zeena Parkins, duet/duet offers a dance built from simple shapes and lines and complex - but not necessarily difficult - feelings.

Play | Richard III: Shakespeare Drama Outdoors


Tony Award nominee Robert O’Hara (Slave Play, The Public’s Barbecue) brings his sharp wit and storytelling genius with a bold new production of Richard III. One of Shakespeare’s most indelible villains, Richard is determined to be King. Following his lust for power and the throne, he manipulates, kidnaps, and kills all who stand between him and his throne, using brilliant words and dark charm to conceal his dismantling of government and justice. This masterful dive into the muddy middle between political genius and violent power grab arrives with piercing relevancy and electrifying drama.
