From dance to theater to visual art, here are this weekend's best events.
Contemporary dance company Disco Riot is about to embark upon a series of performances in the Bay Area with San Francisco-based FACT/SF, which was cofounded by Oceanside native Charles Slender-White. FACT/SF will then come to San Diego next spring to perform a show together.
Before Disco Riot goes, however, they'll do one performance of their new piece,"Ex Nihilo," for local audiences. It's a 35-minute quintet, informed by lectures by philosopher Alan Watts and also has original music from Jonny Tarr.
The La Jolla Playhouse and Tectonic Theater Project's production of"Here There Are Blueberries" is shown on-stage in an undated photo. For playwrights Moisés Kaufman and Amanda Gronich, telling a story that addresses the real lives of Nazi guards and workers came down to the clear distinction the creative team drew between"Our play is not exonerating. It is not forgiving," Gronich said."As one of our characters says, the Holocaust did not happen in a passive voice. People actively determined to do this."
Kaufman said that historians' approaches to the Holocaust are transforming."There is also a great interest now in the perpetrators, and how did they do what they did, and how did they become what they became," Kaufman said.
