Tickets: $25 (general admission); $40 (premium seating)
American couple Keaton and Deanna, saddled with debt and buoyed by lust-driven optimism, move abroad for a fresh start. In their attempt to reinvent themselves as enterprising expats, they’re plunged into a torrid triangle with Alondra, an alluring and mischievous Selkie (half-woman half-seal). Keaton’s aggression and Deanna’s complicity in Alondra’s exploitation result in a maelstrom of perverse romance andwet revenge in this dark, funny, and saturated exploration of domestic violence – of being trapped – and two approaches to escape.
All performances are at The Wild Project (195 E. 3rd Street, between Avenues A & B).

13B) QUICKSAND, adapted from Nella Larsen’s seminal Harlem Renaissance novel, makes NYC premiere at IRT Theater
Everyday Inferno Theatre Company is thrilled to present the world premiere of QUICKSAND, adapted from Nella Larsen’s novel by Regina Robbins and directed byAnaïs Koivisto. QUICKSAND begins performances on Saturday, December 1 for a limited engagement through Saturday, December 15. Press Opening is Monday, December 3 at 7:30 PM. The performance schedule is Wednesday - Saturday at 7:30 PM, with added performances on Sunday 12/2 at 2 PM and 7 PM, Monday 12/3 at 7:30 PM, Friday 12/7 at 3 PM, Sunday 12/9 at 7:30 PM, Tuesday 12/11 at 4 PM and 8 PM. Performances are at the IRT Theater (154 Christopher Street, between Washington and Greenwich Streets, near the 1 and 2 trains at Christopher Street Station, and the A, B, C, D, and E at West 4th).
Regina Robbins adapts Nella Larsen’s seminal Harlem Renaissance novel QUICKSAND for the stage. Helga Crane is the daughter of a Danish white mother and West Indian black father. Dancing between the liminal space of two worlds – one black, one white, both male-dominated — Helga embarks on an epic journey through the deep South, Denmark, Chicago, and New York. Does she find the community she’s been searching for? Or does her disillusionment drag her down like quicksand? With auto-biographical nods to Larsen’s own life, Regina Robbins’ jazz and gospel-infused adaptation drives a compelling story that transcends traditional narratives of race and gender.
Tickets are $20; VIP tickets are available for $35 and include reserved seating and a free drink. Five $5 tickets are available for each performance as part of Everyday Inferno’s 5@$5 affordable ticket program. For tickets and more information, call Brown Paper Tickets on 800-838-3006 or visit www.everydayinferno.com.

BodyStories: Teresa Fellion Dance presents the World Premiere of reeling -> healing at Triskelion Arts' Muriel Schulman Theater,106 Calyer Street, (entrance on Banker St,) Brooklyn, NY 11222, from November 29 - December 1, 2018 at 8pm. Tickets are $18 in advance ($22 at the door) and are available at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/
reeling -> healing is an exploration of feelings of frustration and helplessness that can occur as a result of the constant barrage of bad news and hatred that reaches our country. This two-part work discusses how audiences deal with these emotions to find solace while taking action. Original music by Kevin Keller adds to a sense of urgency and the need for community, working in tandem with the choreography to immerse the audience in a fully formed world. Performers and audience connect via The Emotional Architecture of a Bridge, an original concept drawn and created by Teresa Fellion, that is uncovered in the piece via set elements and audience interaction with text. Furthering thoughts of togetherness, which has been an overarching theme in all past BodyStories pieces, reeling -> healing exposes the more vulnerable sides of ourselves through dance.

ABOUT PETER & THE WOLF
In 1936, Sergei Prokofiev was commissioned to write a light-hearted piece for children that would introduce the instruments and sounds of the orchestra. He was given a libretto, but he didn't like it, so he came up with a new story. The music was completed in a week. Peter & the Wolf was the result, and it is a work still loved by children and adults. The story tells how Peter, against his grandfather's will, opens the park gate, ventures into the big green meadow, and ultimately manages to liberate the City from the scary wolf. Peter captures the wolf with the help of a bird, his friend, and hands him over to the hunter, with a specific request: to take the wolf to the zoo. Each character in the story is represented by an instrument. The narrator reads the story between the musical sections.

Grandfather - bassoon
