This post has some urgency to it because it is about a unique performance happening TONIGHT.  Currently the non-profit organization, Performa, has taken over New York -bringing it to life with unique displays of performance art and theatrical experiments.  As the founder of Performa, RoseLee Goldberg, has stated, the organization’s mission is dedicated “to exploring the critical role of live performance in the history of twentieth century art and to encouraging new directions in performance for the twenty-first”.

And TONIGHT, ladies and gents, a cultural icon who has reinvented the formula of storytelling, William Kentridge, is bringing his work to life.  Reinterpreting suppressed stories of his nations past, Kentridge has a prophetic way of revealing brutal truths by way of beauty:  creating poetry in the form of painted films and musical scores all under a strict palate of black, white, gray and pale blue.

However, tonight is a special opportunity, as Kentridge is sharing a presentation on an opera he is working on, titled I Am Not Me, The Horse Is Not Mine.  Go See Him Here, Tonight, at 8pm.
